The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its general shape can be described as somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. It is characterized by a central, somewhat brighter region, possibly a bulge or core, with light that is shifted towards the red part of the spectrum. There's a fainter, extended disk-like component, with hints of blue light on one side and some light redder on the other, suggesting possible ongoing, but subdued star formation. The galaxy seems to be relatively undisturbed, exhibiting no strong signs of recent major mergers or significant tidal interactions. Its overall appearance is indicative of a mature galaxy, which is either an elliptical or lenticular galaxy seen edge on, or a spiral galaxy with tightly wound arms, also viewed edge-on.
