The galaxy appears as a somewhat elliptical, diffuse object. A bright, concentrated central bulge is observed, which suggests a significant stellar population is present. The main body of the galaxy appears largely smooth with a fraction of its light being a reddish hue. This color suggests a population of older stars. There is some indication of less smooth features, but they do not appear to be spiral arms. There is no obvious evidence of a major merger, though there may be minor disturbances. The shape of the galaxy is in between round and elliptical but not cigar shaped.
