The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. It is generally smooth in appearance, with a concentrated central bulge that exhibits a yellow-orange hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. The light becomes fainter towards the outer edges, which exhibit a more diffused blue color that extends along the major axis. There may be slight disturbances visible, suggesting the possibility of recent minor interactions. There are no prominent dust lanes or spiral arm structures visible. The galaxy does not appear to be actively undergoing a major merger.
