The galaxy exhibits a morphology consistent with a spiral type, though the disk appears somewhat distorted.  A prominent bulge is observed at the galaxy's center.  Spiral arms are present, showing a somewhat patchy distribution of star formation regions which appear blue in color. The galaxy is not edge-on, but has an intermediate inclination. There may be a faint bar structure present along the plane of the disk. The overall shape suggests that there is a possible recent or ongoing merger event, which is disturbing the main galaxy's structure.
