The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. It appears relatively smooth in texture, with a high degree of central concentration as indicated by the bright, unresolved core. There's a subtle color gradient, suggestive of potentially varied stellar populations. Fainter, diffuse light extends outwards from the central region, implying a gradually decreasing stellar density further from the core. No distinct spiral arm features or prominent dust lanes are evident in this image. The general morphology points to a galaxy that may be elliptical or lenticular, although higher resolution imaging would be needed to confirm.
