The galaxy presents as a spiral, viewed at a substantial inclination, nearly edge-on. Distinct spiral arm structures are evident, although partially obscured by the angle of observation. The arms appear loosely wound. The central bulge is relatively small, appearing diminished relative to the disk. The galaxy exhibits a blue hue throughout, with a slightly yellower coloration concentrated towards the core, suggesting a mix of stellar populations. The disk extends a considerable distance from the bulge, and the galaxy is mostly undisturbed. A few faint areas of light are present that could be weaker spiral arms.
