The galaxy exhibits a spiral morphology, characterized by a relatively small bulge and prominent spiral arms. The arms appear somewhat tightly wound. These arms emanate from the central bulge region. The disk of the galaxy is viewed at a slight angle from face-on, but is not fully edge-on. The dominant color of the bulge is yellowish, likely indicating a population of older stars. The spiral arms appear bluish, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. There may be some presence of dust lanes within the arms, though this is not definitively observable. There is no clear evidence of a major ongoing merger, though some minor distortions in the spiral arms cannot be ruled out. The galaxy does not appear perfectly symmetrical. There are no particularly bright or prominent HII regions easily discernable within the spiral arms.
