The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy with a moderate inclination relative to our line of sight. Prominent spiral arms are observed, though they appear somewhat flocculent and lack the grand design structure seen in some spirals. The arms exhibit a bluish tint, suggestive of recent star formation. The central bulge is of moderate size, contributing significantly to the overall luminosity of the galaxy, and has a yellowish hue. The dust lanes are visible but not very thick and can be seen along the spiral arms. No prominent bar structure is readily apparent in this image, but it could be present. The galaxy is mostly undisturbed, but may be experiencing some minor disturbance in its galactic field.
