The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, disk-shaped structure viewed at an oblique angle. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, appearing as a bright, yellowish bulge. The light from the bulge is somewhat extended into the surrounding disk, making it seem somewhat larger than its estimated size. The outer regions of the galaxy are fainter and appear more blue. The general shape is somewhat cigar-like, implying a more elliptical morphology. Overall, the galaxy appears undisturbed with no signs of major interactions or mergers. The faint blue regions suggest the presence of a small amount of ongoing star formation, particularly within the galaxy's disk.
