The galaxy presents as a single, though somewhat elongated, luminous object. The morphology appears largely spheroidal. The central region exhibits the highest surface brightness. It appears to be undergoing a merger with a smaller, yet distinct nearby galaxy, which could be considered as a dwarf spheroidal. The overall light profile suggests a relatively high concentration of stars toward the center, which implies that it is a late stage spiral galaxy or early stage elliptical galaxy. There is a slight tilt, with the major axis oriented roughly horizontally in the image. The color gradient implies some differences in stellar populations throughout the main galaxy.
