The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its color profile indicates a dominant yellow-orange hue concentrated towards the central region, suggesting an older stellar population. The shape is more akin to a cigar, and the distribution of light is concentrated towards the core with a gradual fading towards the outer edges. There is no visible evidence of spiral arm structure or a prominent dust lane, but the general shape is like an edge-on disk with a smooth halo around it. There are no obvious signs of major disturbances or tidal features to indicate a recent major merger event. The galaxy's morphology suggests it is possibly an elliptical galaxy with a smooth light distribution or perhaps an early-type spiral galaxy seen edge-on.
