The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or possibly an elliptical galaxy, with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. Its shape is elongated, nearly cigar-shaped, and there is no discernable spiral arm structure. A slight blue hue is seen throughout the galaxy, this suggests that the galaxy is middle aged. There are no obvious signs of a major merger event in the image, although a minor disturbance might not be detectable given the image resolution.
