The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elongated structure with a smooth overall appearance. It exhibits a central bulge that is slightly brighter than the surrounding disk. There's a subtle color gradient, with the central region appearing to have a slightly redder hue compared to the bluer periphery. This may indicate older stellar populations concentrated in the center, and relatively recent star formation in the disk. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are readily apparent. It may be undergoing some minor gravitational disturbance, as there is a potential faint tidal stream or plume emanating from one side of the galaxy. This feature is subtle but could indicate a past interaction with a smaller object. The galaxy does not appear to be actively merging with a significantly sized companion at this time.
