This galaxy presents as an elongated, smooth object with a distinct cigar shape. Its central region exhibits a brighter, more concentrated luminosity, fading outwards towards the edges of the galaxy. The color profile indicates an older stellar population, displaying a yellowish hue. There are no spiral arms or significant dust lanes immediately apparent, suggesting a lack of ongoing major star formation activity. Minor asymmetry may be present, hinting at a possible past or ongoing minor interaction, but the galaxy primarily appears undisturbed. Overall, the morphology points toward an elliptical galaxy, possibly of moderate size.
