The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy viewed at an angle, but not quite edge on, with well-defined spiral arms. A prominent central bulge is visible, but does not appear to dominate the overall structure. The arms appear tightly wound and display evidence of active star formation regions, indicated by the blue color. The dust lanes are likely present in the galaxy. The disk is inclined relative to our line of sight, giving the galaxy an elongated appearance. No significant signs of a recent major merger event are readily apparent in the overall morphology, although minor disturbances cannot be ruled out.
