The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, relatively smooth object. The primary color is a yellowish-white, suggesting a dominant population of older stars. There is minimal discernible internal structure. The light distribution is concentrated towards the center, but the overall profile is diffuse, fading gradually into the background. The apparent lack of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes suggests it is likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy. The overall shape is cigar-like, indicating a moderate degree of ellipticity. There is no visual evidence of ongoing major merging activity or significant tidal disturbances. The galaxy appears to be relatively isolated, with no close companion galaxies.
