The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated object, with a moderate degree of ellipticity. A slight elongation is observed; the shape is somewhere between round and cigar shaped. There is a smoothness to its overall appearance; only subtle features are noted. It is of considerable size, approximately 7.3 kpc across. The galaxy appears to be generally homogenous in color, suggesting a relatively quiescent star formation history. There appears to be a concentration of bluish color in what may be an arm, suggesting a higher rate of star formation than the rest of the galaxy. There is no evidence of recent major merger events.
