The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its primary axis is oriented approximately northeast to southwest. The light distribution appears relatively smooth, however, it is possible some areas have some features with some star formation. The redder color is visible in some of the light, and the object is relatively bright. The major axis appears to be a factor of 5 times that of its minor axis. There may be a hint of a dust lane across the galaxy, however, there is no significant disturbance noted.
