The galaxy presents a distinct spiral morphology, though somewhat flocculent in nature. The central bulge appears relatively small, and displays a high degree of symmetry. The spiral arms exhibit a moderate winding, neither tightly wound nor particularly loose, presenting a somewhat grand design. Indications of star formation, evidenced by blue-ish concentrations, are observed within the arms, though are not particularly bright, particularly in the outer regions of the disk. There appears to be no strong central bar structure. The overall color suggests the presence of both older stellar populations in the bulge and younger, star-forming regions within the disk. There are some features which might suggest a previous merger event, as the disk is not perfectly symmetric.
