The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a shallow angle, not quite edge-on. There is evidence of spiral arm structure, although it is somewhat flocculent and disturbed. Several bright knots of likely star formation regions are visible within the spiral arms, exhibiting a bluer color. A central bulge is not particularly prominent, appearing small or non-existent. The disk is the dominant feature. The galaxy shows signs of possible interaction or disturbance, with asymmetry or irregular features in the disk. There does appear to be a bar running through the center of the galaxy. The galaxy exhibits a mix of smooth, diffuse light and more structured regions.
