The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped object with a smooth, diffuse appearance. Its color profile suggests a dominant population of older stars, exhibiting a yellowish-red hue concentrated towards the central bulge. There are no readily apparent spiral arms or dust lanes. The object shows a notable lack of blue light, implying relatively low levels of ongoing star formation. The absence of distinct morphological features suggests it is likely an elliptical galaxy, or perhaps a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. Minor asymmetries or disturbances are not readily apparent in the image, indicating it is likely undisturbed. The galaxy’s estimated size suggests it is a moderate-sized galaxy.
