The galaxy appears as a central, somewhat concentrated light source. Its overall color is primarily blue-ish, with hints of green and red dispersed throughout. The object is not perfectly circular, but more elliptical in shape, with a slight elongation. The light appears concentrated towards the center. Some distortion can be observed, though it is only minor. The object is relatively compact, and the light falls off steadily from the center to its faint edges. The galaxy does not appear to have any obvious spiral arm structure or a prominent disk, though it is not perfectly smooth.
