The galaxy presents a distinctly elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. Its light profile appears relatively smooth, with no prominent spiral arms or distinct features immediately visible. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, fading towards the edges. Color gradients are subtle, with a slight bluer hue in the outer regions compared to the yellowish central bulge, which may indicate the presence of younger stellar populations. The overall structure suggests a galaxy that is likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy, seen edge-on. There does not appear to be any tidal disturbance. The shape indicates a fairly large size relative to other galaxies.
