The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its color profile leans towards redder wavelengths, with a core exhibiting a more pronounced orange-red hue. A subtle greenish tint is observed at the periphery, suggesting a possible, albeit weak, presence of younger stellar populations or ionized gas. There's no immediately discernible spiral arm structure or significant dust lane obscuration. The overall form is somewhat cigar-shaped, with a gradual fade from the central concentration of light towards the outer edges. No obvious signs of major tidal disturbances or ongoing merging events are detected in this image. It appears to be a generally undisturbed galaxy, viewed at an angle close to edge-on.
