The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. It exhibits an overall reddish hue, suggesting a population dominated by older stars. The morphology appears to be that of an elliptical galaxy. There is a slight color gradient across the galaxy, with the central region appearing more orange/red, potentially indicating a higher concentration of older stars towards the center. The edges of the galaxy are less defined and have an almost bluish tinge in places, perhaps due to the presence of some younger stars. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are observed. The overall shape is cigar-like, with a high ellipticity. There are no obvious signs of recent major mergers or significant tidal disturbances affecting the galaxy's structure.
