The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical form. There is a central concentration of light, with the intensity diminishing gradually towards the outer edges. The overall color appears to be yellowish-orange, possibly indicating an older stellar population. There is a slight bluer tinge on either side of the galaxy from the central core, possibly suggestive of more recent star formation within a disk. The shape suggests an elongated, cigar-like morphology, rather than a perfectly circular distribution of stars. There do not appear to be any signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in this particular image.
