The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, exhibiting a relatively high degree of inclination as viewed from our vantage point. The central bulge appears moderate in size and brightness. Evidence suggests the presence of a strong bar structure bisecting the bulge. The spiral arms are well-defined and organized, with two prominent arms that wrap tightly around the galactic nucleus, beginning near the end of the bar. These arms are somewhat tightly wound and traced by regions of intense star formation, indicated by a bluer color. The overall morphology appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of a major merger. A minor disturbance can not be ruled out however.
