The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, with well-defined spiral arms. The spiral arms are wound moderately tightly around the galactic center. Two spiral arms are easily defined, others are seen, but are not as easy to discern. The central bulge is moderately sized. There is a hint of a bar structure present. The disk is not edge-on, but is observed at an angle. There is no evidence of a major merger or significant tidal disturbance. The overall morphology suggests ongoing star formation, traced by the bluer regions within the spiral arms. The galaxy exhibits a smooth light distribution.
