The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. It exhibits a concentrated central region, possibly a bulge, that appears brighter and more luminous than the surrounding areas. The color profile shifts from a yellowish core to a bluer outer region. There is a slight degree of asymmetry detectable, but appears to be largely undisturbed. No distinct spiral arm structures or dust lanes are clearly visible in this image. The galaxy's elongated shape suggests it is being viewed at an angle.
