The galaxy presents as a relatively small spiral, inclined at an angle to our line of sight, though not quite edge-on. Two distinct spiral arms are readily apparent, loosely wound, and exhibit a patchy structure indicative of active star formation. The central bulge is moderately sized, and shows little variation in color. The arms display bluer hues, consistent with a younger stellar population compared to the relatively older stars within the bulge. No strong bar feature is discernible. The morphology of the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no major signs of ongoing merging events, although there are indications of minor disturbances.
