This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a high inclination. The central bulge is prominent, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue suggesting an older stellar population. The spiral arms are somewhat tightly wound and exhibit a patchy distribution of blue star formation regions. The overall color gradient transitions from the yellowish center to bluer outer regions. The galaxy appears to have a relatively smooth profile, but some level of disturbance cannot be ruled out. The shape is elongated, typical of a spiral disk viewed at an angle.
