This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated structure with an elliptical morphology. A slight color gradient is discernible, shifting from a more yellow-white core region to a slightly bluer, diffuse outer halo. The galaxy exhibits a relatively high degree of central concentration, with the light intensity decreasing gradually from the core outwards. There is little evidence of distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes within the galaxy. The overall impression is that of a evolved galaxy. The shape is cigar-like. The edges of the galaxy fade smoothly into the background, indicating the lack of a sharp cut-off in stellar density. The galaxy displays a general lack of any major disturbance. The estimated size of the galaxy indicates that this is a mid-sized galaxy.
