The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. It exhibits a notable concentration of light towards its center, suggesting a prominent galactic nucleus. The overall color profile leans towards a redder hue, particularly concentrated in the core, hinting at a population of older stars and potentially significant dust obscuration. The shape is reminiscent of a cigar or lens, indicative of an elliptical morphology rather than a spiral. There is little to no visual evidence of spiral arms or active star formation regions typically associated with younger stellar populations. Faint, extended halos of light extend from either end of the major axis, gradually fading into the background sky. No signs of ongoing major mergers or significant tidal disturbances are immediately apparent within the image.
