The object appears as a galaxy, elongated in shape, with a generally smooth overall morphology. The central region exhibits a brighter, more concentrated luminosity profile, trending towards yellow-orange hues, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, bluer light is visible at the edges, possibly indicative of recent star formation within the galactic disk. The galaxy has a distinct cigar-like shape and there are no obvious signs of tidal distortions or a major merger in progress. It is most likely not round. There is evidence of some minor disturbances.
