This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, observed at a near face-on orientation. A bright, concentrated central bulge is prominent, characterized by a high surface brightness. Fainter disk extends outwards from the bulge. The disk appears relatively smooth in texture. There are subtle hints of spiral arm structure in the disk but they are faint. There is a slightly bluer color in the disk than in the bulge suggesting star formation is concentrated in the disk. The galaxy shows some morphological disturbance. Several red patches are visible along the disk which might be artifacts. These red patches may also be HII regions or dust absorption features associated with on-going star formation. Overall, the galaxy seems mostly undisturbed but with possible minor tidal features.
