The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical form. It appears moderately concentrated, with a bright, somewhat diffuse central bulge. The outer regions fade gradually into the background sky. There's a suggestion of a slight flattening, moving away from a perfectly spherical shape but it is more 'in between' than cigar shaped. There is a slight suggestion of disturbance in the galaxy in the form of small tidal tails. The colour appears generally homogenous across the galaxy, trending towards the blue-green end of the spectrum centrally, surrounded by a less prominent outer disk with hints of redder hues.
