The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology, appearing quite smooth in overall structure with no discernible spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. The central bulge is a prominent feature, exhibiting a bright, concentrated yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The outer regions of the galaxy fade gradually, indicating a lower density stellar population extending beyond the core. There is a slight bluer tint in regions extending from the central bulge which may indicate areas of recent, although low-level, star formation. There is little evidence of ongoing mergers or major disturbances.
