The galaxy presents as a primarily smooth object, with a high degree of central concentration. It has a distinctly elongated, cigar-like shape. The primary color is reddish, but some irregular green areas are seen that could be spiral arms. No distinct spiral arm structure is apparent. There is no significant indication of any major merging activity or tidal disturbances; although, I believe there may be a minor disturbance. The galaxy has a substantial mass and exhibits moderate to high star formation.
