The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, slightly elliptical object with a smooth, relatively featureless appearance. Its color profile appears to be primarily composed of light toward the redder end of the spectrum. There is little evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. The galaxy's smooth morphology may indicate that it is an elliptical galaxy, or perhaps a spiral galaxy with a prominent bulge viewed at an angle, or a disk galaxy with no easily discernible arms. There is some irregularity, or minor disturbance within the galaxy, and it is possible it is in the process of merging with a smaller galaxy. It is somewhat compact, but extended.
