The galaxy presents as an elongated, roughly cigar-shaped structure. It appears relatively smooth and featureless, with no distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes immediately apparent. There is a central concentration of light, suggesting a bulge component. The color gradient transitions from a yellowish-white core to a bluer hue towards the outer edges, which may indicate ongoing star formation in the peripheral regions. There is some indication of minor tidal disruption, and the galaxy may be undergoing minor merging.
