The galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, elliptical-like structure with an apparent cigar shape. There's a slight color gradient, shifting from bluish-white at the core to a yellowish hue towards the outer edges. The light is concentrated centrally, suggesting a higher stellar density in the core. No distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes are discernible. There seems to be minor light scattering extending from the main body, giving it a fuzzy appearance.
