The galaxy presents as a highly elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a distinct central bulge. The light distribution appears smooth and diffuse, with a gradual decline in surface brightness from the core outwards. There is a subtle color gradient; the central bulge appears whiter, potentially indicating a population of older stars, while the outer regions exhibit a slightly bluer hue, possibly due to ongoing or recent star formation. The edges are not well defined, gradually fading into the background sky. There is no discernible spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes visible. Overall, the galaxy appears to be an elliptical or lenticular type, viewed at a high inclination angle relative to our line of sight.
