The galaxy presents a spiral structure, although the arm definition is somewhat flocculent rather than grand design. The arms appear more prominent on one side. The galaxy is not perfectly edge-on, but shows a slight inclination. A central bulge is visible, though it appears smaller relative to the disk. The galaxy exhibits a predominantly bluish hue, indicative of ongoing star formation within the disk, but the color of the bulge is hard to discern, so the stars might be older. The galaxy seems relatively isolated with no obvious major merging events apparent. There is some visible disturbance of one of the arms, suggesting the possibility of a previous minor interaction, but it is minor. There is a weak bar structure.
