The galaxy presents a generally smooth, rounded morphology. There is a central concentration of luminosity, appearing yellowish-white, surrounded by a less intense, more diffuse halo or disk. A slight asymmetry or disturbance can be discerned, but the overall structure suggests a relatively relaxed state. There appears to be only slight dust lane obscuration. The galaxy's color indices suggest ongoing star formation within the disk, although the smoothness of the light distribution indicates that the star formation is distributed rather than concentrated in distinct regions. The estimated mass of the galaxy is significant. There are no obvious signs of a major merger, though the minor disturbance detected could suggest a past interaction or an internal process. The image is of sufficient quality to generally classify the galaxy.
