The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated object, with a predominantly smooth light distribution. It appears elliptical in shape, closer to in between being round and cigar shaped, with a subtle elongation along one axis. There is little discernible internal structure; no prominent spiral arms or a distinct disk component are immediately obvious. The overall color is consistent with an older stellar population, exhibiting a yellowish to reddish hue. There is no obvious presence of significant dust lanes or recent star formation regions in this image. The overall morphology suggests this galaxy is likely a spheroidal galaxy, possibly an elliptical galaxy with a red shift of around 0.179. There are no obvious signs of a major merging event, though the galaxy may be experiencing some minor disturbances.
