The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated system. A bright, concentrated central bulge is readily apparent, with a yellowish hue. Extending from this central region is a fainter disk, exhibiting a bluish-white colouration, which is indicative of the presence of younger, hotter stars. The disk appears quite thin and is noticeably tilted relative to our line of sight, giving the galaxy an overall cigar-shaped appearance. The galaxy appears relatively smooth, with no prominent spiral arm structures easily discernible in the image, potentially indicating a later-type spiral or lenticular galaxy. There is a relatively small amount of dust visible.
