The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. It exhibits a smooth, centrally concentrated light profile, suggestive of a bulge-dominated system. There is a noticeable color gradient from the center outwards, with a yellowish core gradually transitioning to bluish hues in the outer regions. This color distribution indicates potential variations in stellar populations, with older stars concentrated towards the galactic center and younger, bluer stars populating the outskirts. The galaxy does not show any obvious signs of spiral arms or significant dust lanes.
