The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its light distribution appears relatively smooth and centrally concentrated, with a gradual decrease in surface brightness moving outwards from the core. There is a hint of blue-ish color in the outer regions, which may indicate the presence of a population of relatively young, hot stars in the galaxy's disk. The galaxy is inclined significantly to our line of sight. There are no apparent indications of significant ongoing or recent major merging activity. The galaxy appears to be a relatively isolated object in space.
