The galaxy presents a spiral structure, though the arms are somewhat flocculent and not sharply defined. They appear to emerge from a central bulge of moderate size. The central bulge is bright and appears yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population. Traces of a bar structure are also apparent. The spiral arms show evidence of star formation, though not particularly vigorous. The spiral arms are defined by pockets of bluer light. There are two prominent arms but other arms are also present. The galaxy displays no signs of major interaction or disruption, with a fairly regular overall structure. It is estimated to have a redshift of 0.183527.
