This galaxy presents as a spiral, viewed at a moderate inclination. The bulge appears to be of moderate size, with a yellowish hue, which may indicate an older stellar population. Two spiral arms are present, and they appear to be moderately tightly wound around the galactic center. The arms are patchy in color, with regions of bluer emission, possibly indicative of ongoing star formation. Some minor disturbances are visible, though they are not highly significant. There appears to be a weak bar structure crossing the bulge. The galaxy is not undergoing a major merger.
