The galaxy appears as an elongated, elliptical structure with a significant central bulge. The light distribution suggests a higher concentration of older stars in the core, indicated by the yellowish-orange hue. The outer regions exhibit a bluer color, possibly suggesting younger stellar populations and ongoing, although perhaps modest, star formation activity. The galaxy's shape is distinctly cigar-like, with a smooth, relatively featureless overall appearance, showing no prominent spiral arms or significant signs of major disturbances or mergers with other galaxies. There may be some very slight asymmetric light distribution in the outer edges of the disk.
