The galaxy presents as a relatively compact object with an apparent size of approximately 5 arcseconds. Its overall morphology appears to be primarily smooth, with a shape that is somewhere between round and elliptical. There is a very faint suggestion of possible disturbances in the galaxy's structure; perhaps faint tidal tails or asymmetries. The dominant color is a bluer hue in the central region, with a transition to slightly redder colors in the outer regions. This is indicative of ongoing star formation, particularly in the bluer regions of the galaxy, and possibly an older stellar population in the redder regions. The primary nucleus is bright, but compact, and the light distribution seems largely featureless. No significant spiral arm structures or strong dust lanes are obviously apparent.
