The galaxy appears as a centrally concentrated object with a smooth, relatively featureless profile. Its overall shape is elongated, resembling a cigar shape more than a perfect circle. There is a gradual decrease in surface brightness moving outward from the center. The color is generally blue with areas of lighter blue in the inner regions. The galaxy does not show any prominent spiral arms or dust lanes. No obvious signs of tidal disturbances or ongoing major mergers are visible. There is some suggestion of asymmetry in the faint outer regions of the galaxy.
