The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its light profile suggests a relatively smooth distribution of stars, indicating it is likely an elliptical galaxy. There's a color gradient visible across the galaxy's body, with one end appearing slightly bluer than the other, which may hint at regions of recent, if subdued, star formation. The primary color is a reddish yellow. There is some evidence of disturbances in the overall form, but the majority of its light is evenly distributed. It appears to be undergoing little to no merging activity.
