The galaxy presents as a significantly elongated, cigar-shaped structure. It appears relatively smooth, with a somewhat diffuse light distribution and a high degree of central concentration. There is a color gradient visible along the galaxy's primary axis, transitioning from a slightly bluer hue towards the center to a redder hue at the outer regions. This could indicate that the central regions have more active star formation than the outer regions. There are no clear signs of spiral arm structures or distinct dust lanes. The shape suggests that this galaxy is possibly an elliptical galaxy, or perhaps a spiral galaxy seen edge-on. There seems to be a low chance of it being a merging galaxy.
