The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth and centrally concentrated object. It exhibits a slightly elliptical morphology, with a moderate axial ratio, meaning that it is somewhat flattened. A bright central bulge region is apparent, which dominates the overall luminosity. Fainter, more diffuse light extends outwards from the central bulge, forming a more extended halo. There appears to be some degree of disturbance. The red shift of the object is indicative of its distance.
