The galaxy presents as a somewhat disturbed, luminous object. The core is a bright, concentrated region exhibiting a yellow-orange hue. The light appears relatively smooth, but it may be two galaxies in the process of merging, and may be interacting. This is suggested by a slight elongation and asymmetry in the overall light distribution. The galaxy has a moderate estimated size. There is a notable absence of strong spiral arm features. The outer regions are not well defined and the galaxy appears to fade relatively quickly into the background sky. The galaxy lacks prominent dust lanes or strong star-forming regions, suggesting a relatively low star formation rate. The color profile is consistent with a galaxy dominated by an older stellar population.
