The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy with a notable disk component. The arms are quite prominent and appear to be grand design. These spiral arms appear to be composed of various HII regions, which give the disk a patchy, textured look. The arms seem relatively open, or not tightly wound. The galaxy exhibits a central bulge, which is seen as a concentration of yellow light that suggests an older stellar population. The bulge may be of moderate size relative to the overall disk size. There is a faint suggestion of a bar structure running across the center of the galaxy. There is no obvious active galactic nucleus.
