The galaxy presents as an elongated, roughly cigar-shaped structure. A central bulge exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population with lower star formation activity. Fainter, bluish-green regions are visible extending outwards from the central bulge, suggestive of ongoing star formation in the galactic disk. The distribution of light indicates a relatively smooth overall morphology, with no obvious signs of strong spiral arm structures or a prominent bar. There is a bright, reddish area relatively close to one end of the galaxy, possibly indicative of a bright region of recent star formation, perhaps a knot of ionized gas. No obvious signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances are immediately apparent in this image.
