The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, smooth object. The light is concentrated toward the center, with a fairly smooth fall off in intensity outwards towards the edges. The color profile appears to show a yellow-red central bulge, with some evidence of bluer colors as you move out from the center. Overall, the structure is largely undisturbed, showing no obvious signs of recent major merger events, or significant tidal distortions. There is a slight asymmetry to the outer regions. The galaxy could be classified as an elliptical galaxy, or potentially a lenticular galaxy viewed at an angle.
