The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated structure with a notable central bulge. It exhibits a distinct red hue concentrated towards the core, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Extending outward from the core, a diffuse, bluish halo is observed, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars. The overall shape is cigar-like, appearing significantly flattened. No prominent spiral arms or dust lanes are readily visible, indicating either a relatively featureless disk or an elliptical morphology. There are no indications of ongoing major merging activity, although minor disturbances cannot be ruled out given the image resolution. The galaxy appears to be a sizable system.
