The galaxy appears as a slightly elongated, elliptical-like structure. The central region exhibits a higher concentration of light, appearing brighter and more yellow-orange in color, suggesting an older stellar population. The outer regions show a gradual decrease in surface brightness, with a bluer, more diffuse halo. The overall form is generally smooth, without prominent spiral arms or dust lanes. There may be some minor distortions, but not enough to suggest a major merging event is in progress. The primary axis of elongation seems to be vertical in this orientation, indicating a cigar-like morphology.
