The galaxy exhibits a pronounced, elongated morphology. Its overall shape approximates that of a cigar, with a high aspect ratio. The central region of the galaxy appears denser and exhibits a reddish hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population and/or dust obscuration. Progressing outwards from the core, a subtle transition occurs, shifting towards a greenish coloration. This suggests the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation within the galaxy's outer regions. There is no discernable spiral structure. No obvious signs of major tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers are apparent, although a very slight asymmetry in the outer halo cannot be ruled out. The galaxy's surface brightness appears relatively smooth, without any prominent knots of star formation or distinct features, indicative of a mostly evolved system.
