The galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped structure. A central, brighter region suggests a galactic bulge or core. The overall color is yellowish-white, potentially indicating an older stellar population. Fainter, bluish extensions are visible from the central region, possibly indicative of some star forming regions or spiral arm remnants, though not clearly defined. There is no obvious strong central bar feature or prominent dust lane visible. The edges of the galaxy appear smooth, fading gradually into the background. The light is quite uniform, with no knotty regions of strong light. Overall the galaxy appears to be a relatively undisturbed system.
