The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. It exhibits a relatively smooth morphology, lacking prominent spiral arms or distinct features. The central bulge appears prominent and displays a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, bluer light extends along the galaxy's major axis, hinting at ongoing, though likely subdued, star formation within the disk. There is little evidence of significant dust lanes or active galactic nuclei activity in this image. Overall, the galaxy appears to be an elliptical or lenticular system, observed at a high inclination.
