The galaxy presents a somewhat flocculent spiral structure, with prominent but not tightly wound arms. The arms appear asymmetrical, and it appears that they are more clear on one side of the galaxy than the other. The bulge is moderate in size relative to the disk. The central region exhibits a relatively smooth, unresolved appearance, which is indicative of an older stellar population, possibly exhibiting a bar structure, however this cannot be determined from the image due to the angle of observation. The color distribution suggests active star formation, but is more present in the disk than near the bulge. There are a few small areas of distortion in the arms that are likely due to minor disturbances.
