The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated object. Its dominant color is a pale blue, with a concentration of brighter, whiter light towards the center. There is a subtle color gradient, with the outer edges appearing slightly more blue than the central region. No distinct spiral arms or dust lanes are visible. The overall morphology suggests an elliptical galaxy seen at an oblique angle, potentially a lenticular galaxy. Its relatively high smoothness indicates an older stellar population with low ongoing star formation. The cigar-like shape is indicative of the elliptical classification. There is no significant evidence of tidal tails or other indications of recent major merger activity or significant gravitational disturbance.
