The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its color is a pale yellowish-white, with a slight gradient, the core being the brightest and most yellow. There is a suggestion of a central bulge, but no distinct spiral arms or other prominent features are discernible. The galaxy appears relatively smooth and undisturbed, lacking any evidence of recent major mergers or tidal interactions. It has a moderately compact appearance and is likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. The apparent lack of bluer regions suggests relatively low levels of ongoing star formation.
