The galaxy appears as a fairly smooth, elliptical-like object. It presents with a concentrated central bulge that is bright and dominates the overall light distribution. The light fades gradually from the center, exhibiting a fairly featureless profile. The galaxy is elongated, but only slightly. There are no readily apparent spiral arms, bars, or dust lanes visible in this image. The overall color appears slightly reddish. Based on the smooth morphology and color, this galaxy appears to be a relatively evolved system, likely with an older stellar population dominating its light output.
