This galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at an angle that is not quite edge-on, but substantially inclined from face-on. The central bulge is clearly visible and appears moderately bright. Faint spiral arms are apparent, but not sharply defined. The winding of the spiral arms appears relatively medium, showing structure without being tightly wound. The galaxy displays a subtle color gradient, with a slightly bluer hue in the outer regions of the disk, suggesting the presence of younger stellar populations in the spiral arms. A bar-like structure appears to be present, but is not very prominent. There is a slight asymmetry or minor disturbance in the galaxy's overall structure, but it does not appear to be undergoing a major merger. There may be one or two dominant spiral arms.
