The galaxy appears as a somewhat flattened, elliptical object. There is a concentration of light towards the center of the galaxy, suggesting a bulge. The outer regions of the galaxy fade gradually, making it difficult to define the precise edge. The color profile is fairly uniform, with a slight reddening toward the central bulge and a general blueish tint in the surrounding areas. This may be a reflection of the amount of star formation, but more data is needed to say for sure. There are also some irregularities in the shape, suggesting a possible gravitational interaction or disturbance. The lack of distinct spiral arms and the overall morphology suggest this is likely an older galaxy.
