The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped object. Its overall color is a yellowish-white, suggestive of an older stellar population. There is a concentration of brighter, more intense light towards the center of the galaxy, likely indicating a bulge. The light gradually fades towards the edges, giving it a diffuse halo. There is a hint of dust lanes visible, but it is not distinctly disk-like. The galaxy exhibits a smooth texture overall. There appears to be some minor disturbance in the shape, but nothing to indicate a recent major merger event.
