The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated structure. Its overall shape is somewhat cigar-shaped with a noticeable color gradient. The central region displays a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population dominating that area. Moving outward from the center, the color shifts to a bluish-white, indicative of younger stars. The luminosity decreases gradually from the core to the outer edges. No distinct spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes are clearly visible. There is a suggestion of minor disturbance in the disk of the galaxy.
