This galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth morphology, appearing largely featureless upon visual inspection. It has a generally elongated, cigar-like shape, with the major axis significantly longer than the minor axis. The central region displays a higher concentration of light, fading outwards in a diffuse manner. There appears to be little evidence of spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The overall color suggests a population of older stars, with a lack of intense blue star-forming regions. There is no obvious indication of a major ongoing merger event, though there is a hint of minor distortion. The galaxy is not perfectly elliptical, showing a slight irregularity in its overall shape.
