The galaxy presents as an inclined spiral galaxy, with a noticeable bulge. The bulge appears to be a moderate size in comparison to the rest of the galaxy. Faint spiral arms extend from the central bulge, one is more distinct than the other. The arms appear to be relatively tightly wound. Dust lanes are not immediately apparent, though this could be due to the viewing angle and resolution. The overall color suggests ongoing star formation. The light distribution indicates the presence of both older stellar populations in the bulge and younger, bluer stars in the arms.
