The galaxy appears as a somewhat diffuse and luminous object. It has an elongated shape, not perfectly spherical. There is a central concentration of light that fades outwards. The color appears generally yellowish with subtle gradients within the galaxy, possibly indicating variations in stellar populations or dust content. There may be some evidence of disturbance or interaction, and the object looks to have a smooth appearance. The central bulge appears to have a distinct light source, and it is slightly brighter than the rest of the galaxy.
