The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous object with an apparent elongated shape, suggestive of a disk galaxy viewed at an angle. The central bulge is distinctly brighter and exhibits a yellowish hue, likely indicating a population of older, redder stars. Moving outward from the core, the light becomes fainter and slightly bluer in color. The galaxy is more smooth in appearance than featured. There are some indications of some minor irregularities, perhaps showing some gravitational disturbance in the past or ongoing interactions with nearby galaxies. There does not seem to be a present merger, however. The size and shape of the galaxy suggests it is in between a round and cigar shape, and the disk appears to be tilted with respect to our line of sight.
