The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated, elliptical-like structure. There appears to be a bright, compact core. The light appears to fall off relatively smoothly from the center. There is a slight bluing of light in the central region and some hints of a redder outer halo. The overall color is predominantly white/blue-ish, with no evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy's shape is somewhere between a perfect circle and a cigar.
