The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated structure, suggesting it could be an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. It has a concentrated central bulge, which appears to be yellowish, which could indicate an older stellar population. Fainter, bluish extensions are visible on either side of the central region, hinting at the presence of younger stars in these areas. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are apparent in this image. The overall appearance is relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of a major merger event, though there is a smaller disturbance off to one side.
