The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elongated structure. It appears predominantly smooth, with a central bulge that is relatively prominent and has a yellow-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The overall shape is cigar-like, significantly longer than it is wide. There may be some minor disturbances, like minor tidal features, indicating a possible past or ongoing interaction with another galaxy, or possibly just internal irregularities. No spiral arm structure is clearly discernible.
