The galaxy appears as a slightly elongated, diffuse object. Its overall color is slightly reddish, with the redder hues being more concentrated toward the galaxy's center. There is a clear central bulge region, with a smooth, relatively featureless texture. Extending outward from the bulge along the major axis, there is a fainter, more diffuse halo or disk component. This outer region shows subtle variations in brightness. The galaxy's light profile appears smooth and not indicative of spiral arm structure. Its shape is closer to elliptical than circular.
