This galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, with a clear axis of symmetry. The primary body of the galaxy exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. At the edges, there is a slight hint of bluer light, indicating the presence of some younger, hotter stars, potentially from a low level of star formation. The overall morphology appears relatively smooth, with no obvious signs of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. There is no evidence of a strong tidal disturbance or ongoing major merger activity, though the slightly irregular shape could indicate a past minor interaction or internal dynamical processes. The galaxy is compact but resolved, with a noticeable core region. The color gradients and the relative lack of distinct features suggest this is likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy, seen edge-on.
