The galaxy appears as a somewhat elongated, diffuse object. Its light distribution suggests it is a relatively smooth galaxy. The shape tends towards an elliptical form, but not perfectly round, presenting a moderate ellipticity. The primary color of the galaxy is a yellowish-white, which may indicate an older stellar population and relatively low levels of recent star formation. A reddish concentration exists closer to the core with a subtle tail or arm. This may mean there is ongoing star formation, or an active galactic nucleus. No strong spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes are readily apparent.
