The galaxy presents as an elongated structure, with a higher concentration of light towards the center. The shape is definitively cigar-shaped. The light distribution is relatively smooth, lacking prominent spiral arm structures or distinct clumps of star formation. There's a subtle color gradient visible, with the central region appearing slightly more yellow or red-shifted compared to the outer regions, which appear slightly bluer. There are no clear signs of any ongoing major mergers or significant tidal disturbances, though a very slight asymmetry in the light distribution could indicate minor past interactions.
