The galaxy presents as an elongated structure with a smooth, somewhat diffuse appearance. Its overall shape is reminiscent of a cigar, being significantly longer than it is wide. There appears to be a gradient in the color and luminosity along the major axis, with one end appearing brighter and possibly exhibiting bluer hues, transitioning to a redder and fainter color towards the opposite end. This color gradient could indicate variations in stellar populations, with younger, hotter stars concentrated at the bluer end and older, cooler stars dominating the redder end. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or a distinct nucleus; rather, the light seems to emanate from a distributed source. This suggests the object is either an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. There may be signs of minor disturbance within the galaxy's structure.
