This galaxy presents as a spiral with a relatively bright, concentrated central bulge, surrounded by a moderately inclined disk. The spiral arms appear to be tightly wound and somewhat ill-defined, displaying a flocculent structure. There is evidence of ongoing star formation within the arms, as indicated by the bluish hue. The disk exhibits a fairly high degree of rotational symmetry. Dust lanes are not readily apparent, suggesting a relatively face-on orientation, or a low dust content. The galaxy's overall color index suggests a population of both young, hot stars in the spiral arms, and older, cooler stars in the bulge, which are indicated by a more yellow-orange hue. There does not appear to be any obvious signs of interaction or major disturbances in its morphology. The shape of the galaxy is elongated, with the major axis having about a 15% longer measurement than the minor axis.
