The galaxy appears as a centrally concentrated object, with a noticeable radial decrease in surface brightness. The overall shape appears elliptical, with an approximate aspect ratio indicating it is more "in between" round and cigar shaped. The galaxy's light distribution is smooth, showing very little evidence of distinct features such as spiral arms or dust lanes. There appears to be no obvious evidence of a major ongoing merger; however, there are very minor disturbances in the light surrounding the galaxy.
