The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, roundish object. The central region exhibits a high degree of luminosity, appearing almost uniform in color, trending toward the green-yellow part of the spectrum. There is little indication of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes, suggesting that we may be viewing an elliptical galaxy, or perhaps a spiral galaxy at such a distance that its features appear blurred. There are some redder, dimmer concentrations present, but the overall appearance is dominated by the smoother central light distribution.
