The galaxy presents as a smooth, elliptical-like object with a slight elongation. The light is concentrated towards the center, suggesting a dense nucleus or bulge. There is a gradual fading of luminosity outwards from the core, with no apparent spiral arm structures. The overall color appears relatively uniform, trending towards a slightly redder hue across the entirety of its visible area. Indications are that we may be seeing this galaxy at a slight angle; it is not exactly edge-on or face-on. The relative smoothness and lack of intricate details implies that this is a relatively old galaxy, with little current major star formation taking place.
