The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated structure with a cigar-shaped morphology. There is a concentration of light towards the center which fades out along the major axis of the object. This suggests a spheroidal or elliptical shape. The color appears bluer in the outer regions and redder near the core. A lack of easily discernible spiral arms or significant dust lanes indicate that this is most likely an early-type galaxy with an older stellar population. There are no obvious signs of a major merger, however there is potential for a minor disturbance.
