The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated structure. The light distribution suggests a central bulge that dominates the overall luminosity. The shape is more cigar-like than round, suggesting it could be an elliptical galaxy or a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. There is no obvious spiral arm structure, so this object may very well be an elliptical galaxy. There is some color variation, with a bluer hue dominating throughout most of the galaxy. There are no significant signs of tidal disturbances or major mergers, as the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed. The galaxy is relatively compact with a smooth light distribution, and is intermediate in size.
