The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated, elongated system. A smooth, diffuse halo surrounds a brighter, more compact core region. The overall color appears to be skewed towards the red end of the spectrum, particularly within the core, suggesting an older stellar population. The shape is notably non-circular, exhibiting a cigar-like morphology, where the length is approximately three times the width. There is some asymmetry visible in the outer regions, perhaps indicating minor disturbances due to gravitational interactions. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are apparent in the available image resolution, reinforcing the perception of a relatively smooth distribution of stellar material. The system does not appear to be actively merging, though the slight asymmetry warrants further investigation for potential tidal features or ongoing minor interactions.
