The galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at a slight angle from face-on. The central bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older, less active stars. Spiral arms are prominent and display a tightly wound morphology. These arms show a bluer color, indicative of ongoing star formation regions. There is evidence of dust lanes within the arms, appearing as darker regions silhouetted against the stellar light. The overall shape appears elliptical, with the major axis oriented at an approximate 158-160 degree angle. The outer regions of the galaxy fade into the background, with an axial ratio estimate of 0.7. The apparent size of the galaxy is small but defined. There are indications of an active star formation rate. There is no evidence of ongoing major merger activity, although minor distortions or disturbances cannot be ruled out based on this image alone.
