The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge that appears yellowish, perhaps indicating an older stellar population or dust obscuration. The surrounding region fades into a less defined halo. I observe it is neither perfectly round, nor cigar shaped, but lies somewhere in between, maybe slightly elongated. There are no obvious signs of spiral arms or significant dust lanes visible. The galaxy appears to be relatively undisturbed, with no strong indications of a major merger event in its recent history. Slight asymmetry may indicate a minor interaction. There is some indication of ongoing star formation, most likely at a low rate, evidenced by the overall color.
