The galaxy appears as a single, relatively smooth concentration of light. Its shape is somewhat elliptical, appearing elongated rather than perfectly spherical. There is a suggestion of a central bulge, indicated by a slightly brighter and more concentrated region within the overall structure. The overall color is reddish-yellow. No distinct spiral arms, bars, or other prominent features are readily discernible. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merger events, but shows a minor disturbance. It appears that it is between a round and cigar shape galaxy.
