The galaxy appears to be a highly elongated, cigar-shaped system, viewed at a significant angle. It has a smooth appearance, with a bright central bulge that is somewhat indistinct from the surrounding galactic disk. The color profile suggests a population of older stars, with a dominant reddish-yellow hue, indicating lower levels of current star formation. There appears to be a hint of a possible minor disturbance, potentially suggestive of a previous minor interaction, but no ongoing major merger events are evident. There is a slight color gradient across the galaxy, with the central regions appearing somewhat redder.
