The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated object. Its color appears to be a yellowish-orange, with a brighter core fading into a more diffuse outer region. The general shape is suggestive of an elliptical morphology, specifically a cigar-like shape. There are no distinct features, such as spiral arms or prominent dust lanes, visible in this image. The galaxy does not seem to be undergoing any major merging events or showing signs of significant disturbance. Overall, the galaxy is relatively compact, exhibiting a fairly smooth luminosity profile consistent with an early-type galaxy.
