The galaxy appears as a primarily smooth, elongated structure with a cigar-like shape. A bright, concentrated central bulge is visible, emitting strong light. The light of the bulge appears yellowish-white in color, which then fades out towards the edges of the disk. The surrounding disk shows traces of a slightly bluer hue. The galaxy does not appear to show significant signs of ongoing or recent major mergers, though slight disturbances cannot be ruled out. The overall morphology suggests a transition stage between a spiral and elliptical galaxy, possibly a lenticular galaxy seen nearly edge-on.
