The galaxy presents as an elliptical-like structure with a bright, concentrated central bulge that appears yellowish. The primary axis of the galaxy is visibly elongated, resulting in a cigar-like appearance. There's a smooth transition in light intensity moving outwards from the core. The outer regions are fainter and possess a slightly bluer hue than the central bulge. No distinct spiral arms or dust lanes are discernible. Overall the galaxy appears largely undisturbed, with no signs of major mergers or tidal interactions.
