The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at a slight angle relative to face-on. Spiral arms are visible, appearing somewhat tightly wound.  The central bulge is moderately prominent and appears relatively bright. The light distribution suggests a central concentration of older stars with an actively star-forming disk.

The disk exhibits a blueish hue overall, indicative of ongoing star formation.  There are regions of redder emission scattered throughout the disk, possibly indicating dust lanes or areas of older stellar populations. There is no strong evidence of a bar feature within the galaxy.  There's no obvious sign of major tidal disruption, although a slight asymmetry in the outer arms can be observed.
