This galaxy appears to be a barred spiral galaxy exhibiting a defined disk structure. A prominent central bulge is visible, although it does not dominate the overall structure. The spiral arms are tightly wound around the central bulge with two main arms clearly visible. There appears to be a bar structure extending through the central bulge. No signs of major mergers are visible, but there may be a minor tidal disturbance in the outer arms. The galaxy has a slight inclination, which obscures the structure of the disk, but it is clearly not edge-on. The core of the galaxy appears more luminous than the outer portions of the spiral arms. There are star forming regions visible throughout the galaxy.
