The galaxy appears to be an elongated, cigar-shaped system, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a smooth, centrally concentrated bulge that dominates the galaxy's overall luminosity. Diffuse light extends outwards from the bulge along the major axis, suggesting a disk-like structure. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth appearance. There are no obvious signs of strong spiral arms or significant dust lanes. Overall, the color is primarily red, possibly indicating an older stellar population. There is also the suggestion of blue star formation taking place. No strong interactions with other galaxies are apparent.
