The galaxy appears as a single, relatively smooth, and unresolved object. The light is concentrated towards the center, suggesting a prominent bulge. The color gradient transitions from a yellow-white core to a reddish hue in the outer regions. No distinct spiral arms or other features are visible. There may be some minor disturbances indicating it may be in the early stage of a merger, though it's difficult to tell. This galaxy is somewhere in between being cigar shaped and circular. Given the apparent smoothness and color profile, it is probably an elliptical galaxy.
