The galaxy appears as a well-defined elliptical system, exhibiting a smooth, relatively featureless morphology. Its overall shape is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like appearance, but not highly so. The light is concentrated towards the center, indicating a prominent nucleus. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars, with a yellowish-orange hue dominating the central region. Fainter, bluish colors are seen along the edges of the galaxy. There is no indication of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. There is no visible evidence of any ongoing major merger activity. A subtle irregularity is present along the axis of elongation, potentially indicative of a minor disturbance, but without high resolution imaging its precise nature is uncertain. The galaxy appears relatively isolated, with no obvious companions visible within its immediate vicinity.
