The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, exhibiting a distinctly elongated, cigar-like morphology. There is a subtle colour gradient from a generally white-yellow core outwards towards the edge of the disk, where the light becomes more blue and purple. This indicates a potential difference in stellar populations across the galaxy, with older stars located closer to the core. There is no strong indication of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. The overall impression is of an early-type galaxy, likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. No major interactions with nearby galaxies are apparent.
