The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. It presents an overall yellowish hue, concentrated more intensely at the center, suggestive of an older stellar population dominating the core. The shape is elongated, approximately cigar-shaped, indicating a non-spherical morphology. There are hints of bluer light on the outer edges. No distinct spiral arms or dust lanes are visible, consistent with a classification of an elliptical galaxy undergoing little current star formation. There are some very minor disturbances to the galactic structure, but these may be caused by the viewing angle.
