The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like morphology. It exhibits a relatively smooth appearance, lacking distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. The central region appears more luminous, with a gradual decrease in intensity towards the outer edges, but the nucleus is not clearly defined. Color gradients are subtle, showing a slightly bluer hue in the central region which could suggest the presence of a younger stellar population, fading to redder tones towards the edges. The overall structure is suggestive of an early-type galaxy, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. There may be slight asymmetry in its structure, suggesting a possible past interaction or disturbance, although no strong tidal features are observed.
