The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth and elongated object, likely an elliptical galaxy viewed edge-on or a highly inclined spiral. There is a central bulge which dominates the core. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer regions are sporadically distributed throughout the galaxy, indicating some degree of ongoing or recent star formation, although at a low rate. The overall morphology suggests a system undergoing a slow transition, with features indicative of both early-type and late-type galaxies. There are slight disturbances, but the galaxy does not present a clear and obvious interaction or merging event. The shape indicates that it may be cigar-shaped.
