The galaxy presents as a barred spiral type, viewed at an oblique angle relative to our line of sight. A central bulge is visible with a moderate concentration of light. Faint spiral arms are observed, extending outwards from the central bulge. The arms exhibit some patchy structure suggestive of star forming regions, intermixed with areas of more diffuse light. There is no obvious sign of merging. The galaxy has an apparent optical diameter of approximately 8 kpc.

The red shift indicates that this galaxy is at a considerable distance.
