The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. It presents with a largely homogenous light distribution, lacking any readily discernible spiral arm structures or a prominent central bulge. The overall shape is close to circular, though a slight elongation is present. There is no apparent dust lane obscuring the light from the core. I observe no strong tidal features or other signs of recent merger activity, though I could be wrong about the last part. The light is concentrated toward the core of the galaxy, gradually diminishing toward the outer edges. The edge of the galaxy appears diffuse and somewhat difficult to define precisely against the background sky.
