The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated structure with a cigar-like shape. Its color distribution shows a central concentration of yellow-white light, suggesting an older stellar population concentrated in the galactic bulge. Fainter blue hues extend outward from the central region, tracing the galaxy's disk. These colors suggest the presence of younger, hotter stars indicative of some ongoing, albeit low, star formation. There is no apparent spiral structure. The overall morphology suggests an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. No signs of significant tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers are immediately apparent.
