This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, with a high central concentration of light. It has a cigar-like shape, as the major axis is longer than the minor axis. The core is bright and yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars. There is some reddening toward the center, which could indicate the presence of dust. Fainter, bluer light can be seen along the edges of the galaxy. There is no indication of any spiral arms or a disk. The galaxy appears undisturbed, with no signs of recent mergers or tidal interactions.
