The galaxy appears to be a relatively compact object. It exhibits a generally smooth morphology, with no immediately apparent spiral arms or strong bar structure. The galaxy's color suggests a mix of stellar populations. The central region seems to be slightly brighter and has a yellow hue, potentially indicating a population of older stars. There also is a strong reddish orange tinge at the top of the galaxy, but it is unclear from the image if this is part of the galaxy or a separate artifact. The surrounding halo area has a bluer tint, suggesting the presence of some younger, hotter stars, and on going star formation. Based on the smooth appearance, this galaxy is either an elliptical, lenticular, or a spiral with the arms hidden from this viewing angle. There does not appear to be any ongoing major merger events, but minor disturbances cannot be ruled out. The object is located in a relatively sparse field, with few other bright galaxies nearby in the image.
