The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped object with a smooth, diffuse morphology. There is a central concentration of light that gradually fades towards the edges. The color appears to shift from a yellowish-white core to bluish hues towards the outer regions. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are visible. The overall impression is of a relatively undisturbed system with a possible absence of significant recent merger events. There may be minor irregularities or asymmetries in the outer regions. Based on the color profile and lack of apparent structure, this galaxy is possibly an elliptical, or a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on.
