The galaxy appears to be generally smooth in texture, with a prominent central bulge. The overall shape is elongated, suggesting a disk-like morphology, but without clearly defined spiral arms. A diffuse outer halo is visible, gradually fading into the background sky. There may be a minor disturbance present. The color appears bluish, implying the presence of younger, hotter stars, although dust extinction may be obscuring some of the light from the core of the object.
