The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elongated structure. It exhibits a central bulge that appears moderately luminous and somewhat diffuse in the redder wavelengths. The disk component is less defined, showing a more amorphous extension, giving the galaxy an overall cigar-like shape. There is an apparent asymmetry. One end of the galaxy is dominated by a concentrated region exhibiting a bluer color, potentially indicative of ongoing star formation. The galaxy does not show obvious signs of a major ongoing merger, but possible disturbances are present.
