The galaxy presents as a somewhat smooth, elongated structure, strongly suggesting it is an elliptical galaxy. The color profile is mostly yellow/orange. The galaxy does not show defined spiral arms or significant dust lanes. There is a high likelihood that the galaxy is not currently undergoing any major merging activity or significant tidal disturbance. The isophotes appear relatively smooth, which supports a classification as an elliptical galaxy. The galaxy is cigar shaped, or highly elongated.
