The object appears to be a relatively smooth galaxy with an elongated, cigar-like shape. It exhibits a color gradient, shifting from a redder hue in the central region to bluer tones towards the outer edges. There is no significant evidence of spiral arms or strong dust lanes visible in this image, suggesting a lack of prominent star formation regions. The galaxy seems undisturbed, showing no signs of ongoing mergers or major tidal interactions with other galaxies. The smooth morphology indicates the galaxy is likely a more evolved system, possibly an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on.
