The galaxy presents as a smooth, elliptical-like structure with a concentrated central bulge. The color profile appears reddish, suggesting a population of older stars and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. There is a slight elongation to the galaxy's shape; it is more "in-between" than round, and has a hint of being cigar-shaped. There appears to be a possible minor disturbance in the symmetry of the galaxy. There does appear to be a galaxy merger. The galaxy is a considerable distance away, evidenced by the redshift and small angular size in the image.
