The galaxy appears as a centrally concentrated object, with a smooth, elliptical morphology. The light is dominated by redder wavelengths, suggesting an older stellar population, potentially with a lower rate of on-going star formation. The apparent size on the image is small, indicating that it is relatively distant. The galaxy is elongated and somewhat cigar shaped in appearence. There appears to be no major mergers or dust lanes easily observed in this image. The light is smooth, potentially implying an older stellar population.
