The galaxy presents as a generally smooth object, exhibiting an elongated, cigar-like shape. Its morphology suggests it is likely an elliptical galaxy. The light is concentrated towards the center, which is bright and yellowish, implying a population of older stars. The outer regions show a gradual decrease in luminosity with a soft, diffused glow. This implies that there is minimal to no ongoing star formation. There is no apparent evidence of spiral arms or dust lanes; it's a fairly regular and undisturbed structure.
