The galaxy appears to be a relatively compact object with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. It exhibits a central concentration of luminosity that gradually fades towards the outer regions. Although no prominent spiral arms or bar structures are discernible, there are subtle indications of some irregular features, possibly representing nascent spiral arm segments or tidal disturbances. A slight bluing is seen throughout the galaxy, suggestive of star formation. Given that a high percentage of other citizen scientists have seen it as smooth, it may be an elliptical galaxy with some degree of recent activity, or a spiral that is viewed almost perfectly face-on.
