This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type galaxy. It exhibits a cigar-like shape, elongated along its major axis. The central bulge appears prominent, displaying a concentrated yellowish-white hue, indicative of an older stellar population. There is little evidence of distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. A very faint blue tinge is visible on the outer edges, but its smoothness suggests ongoing, but low, levels of star formation. There is no immediately visible evidence of any major ongoing merging activity or tidal disturbances.
