The galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at an oblique angle. The central bulge appears yellowish and moderately sized, extending a considerable distance from the core. Faint dust lanes can be seen within the arms. These spiral arms extend outwards from the bulge and exhibit a somewhat tightly wound structure. The overall structure displays features of a grand design spiral, with two main arms. Faint blue-white hues are evident, suggesting ongoing star formation within the arms. There is no obvious major disturbance suggesting an active merger event, but there appears to be a very mild disruption of one of the spiral arms.
