The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy with a moderate inclination relative to our line of sight. The spiral arms are tightly wound, exhibiting a flocculent structure rather than a grand design. There appear to be multiple spiral arms, perhaps more than four. A stellar bar is either not present, or not easily distinguishable. The bulge is small compared to the overall disk size. Dust lanes are visible within the spiral arms. The galaxy exhibits a blue color, suggestive of ongoing star formation, especially in the spiral arms. There is evidence of H1 gas around the galaxy. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major merging activity.
