The galaxy presents a well-defined disk structure, oriented approximately edge-on relative to our line of sight. The disk exhibits a prominent central bulge region which appears bright and somewhat diffuse. The bulge is elongated along the major axis of the disk. The spiral arms are tightly wound, and trace a faint, almost flocculent pattern. There is evidence of some bar structure bisecting the central bulge. The overall color of the galaxy suggests a mixture of stellar populations, with the bulge appearing yellower indicating older stars, and the outer disk showing bluer hues implying more recent star formation. There are no obvious signs of significant tidal disturbances or ongoing major merger activity, though there is perhaps a hint of minor asymmetry in the outer disk indicative of minor interactions. The galaxy seems to be a grand design spiral, albeit a slightly perturbed one.
