The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated structure, suggestive of a disk galaxy seen edge-on. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, potentially indicating a bulge or concentration of older stars. The color gradient appears to shift from slightly bluer towards the outer edges to redder toward the center. This could reflect ongoing star formation in the disk with a population of older stars being more centrally located. The disk appears relatively smooth, lacking prominent spiral arm structures, though some subtle irregularities may be present. There is no apparent evidence of tidal tails or strong morphological disturbances, which could be interpreted to mean this is not undergoing a significant merger event. The galaxy's overall shape is highly elongated, with a cigar-like appearance, indicative of a high inclination angle relative to our line of sight.
