Smooth elliptical with a close projected companion galaxy to the east. The companion appears losing material. [Roche and Eales2000], with a U-band image taken with the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope, find an apparent tidal distortion that confirms that the two galaxies are interacting. There is an additional faint unresolved source south.
