The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. There's a noticeable color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-orange hue at the center to a fainter, slightly bluish tint towards the outer edges. The central region is significantly brighter, suggesting a concentration of older stars or a possible active galactic nucleus, though the resolution limits a definitive assessment. The outer regions exhibit a more scattered light distribution. No distinct spiral arms or dust lanes are visible. There are no clear signs of tidal disturbances or merging activity within the image. The galaxy's overall structure suggests an elliptical morphology or a lenticular galaxy seen at an oblique angle. Based on the color profile, the galaxy likely hosts a population of older stars.
