The galaxy appears as a slightly elongated, diffuse object. The core exhibits a bright, yellowish-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Moving outward from the core, the light gradually diminishes, transitioning to a fainter, bluer tone towards the edges. The shape of the galaxy is neither perfectly spherical nor a clear disk, appearing to be somewhere in between with perhaps a slight cigar shape, lacking any distinct spiral arm structure or prominent features suggestive of ongoing mergers. It is a fairly smooth galaxy.
