This elliptical galaxy fills a large portion of the detector. New spectroscopic evidence shows that what appears to be a bright nucleus is a star superimposed on the center of the galaxy (Marchesini et al. private communication;  [Chiaberge et al.2002]). Several point sources are discernible on the field of view, some of them are possibly globular clusters.
