The galaxy appears as a smooth, elongated structure with a prominent central bulge. Its overall color is yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars. There's a slight gradient in color, with the central region appearing more golden and the outer regions subtly redder, potentially indicating some degree of radial variation in stellar populations. The light distribution appears mostly homogenous with no distinct spiral arm structure or dust lanes visible. The galaxy exhibits a degree of ellipticity, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped when viewed from our angle. There is also a very slight hint of asymmetrical light distribution which could point to minor gravitational interaction or disturbance.
