The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. The dominant color is a somewhat muted yellow-white in the central region, transitioning to reddish hues at the galaxy's periphery along the top. There may be a subtle hint of bluer tones in the region closest to the central yellow-white. The galaxy appears to be viewed edge-on, or very close to edge-on. There is no obvious dust lane or spiral structure immediately apparent in the image. It appears undisturbed and without any signs of major mergers or tidal tails. The smooth appearance suggests a relatively old stellar population and a low star formation rate. The object is somewhere in between round and cigar shaped.
