The galaxy presents as a spiral, viewed at an oblique angle. The disk structure shows evidence of disturbances, with some asymmetries noted in the arm structures. Two dominant spiral arms can be seen originating near the core of the galaxy. The arms are clumpy and show hints of active star formation. The central bulge appears of moderate size. Color gradients suggest an older stellar population in the bulge and younger populations in the disk, as one would expect. There appears to be evidence of interaction or merging activity. The shape is irregular, with one side appearing extended and disrupted, possibly indicative of a minor merger event. The galaxy shows hints of blue color, suggesting more recent star formation is present. No pronounced dust lane is apparent from this view.
