The galaxy presents as an elongated, spindle-shaped structure, indicative of a highly inclined disk galaxy, possibly a spiral viewed edge-on. Its overall color appears bluish, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation within the disk. There is a subtle variation in color along the length of the galaxy, which might be indicative of differing stellar populations or dust lane obscuration. The galaxy exhibits a smooth, faint halo surrounding the central disk. There are some subtle disturbances within the galaxy's structure that may indicate a past or ongoing minor merger. The elongated shape and smooth features lead to it being classified as a smooth galaxy with a cigar shape.
