The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy with a prominent disk. The disk is oriented at a significant inclination relative to our line of sight, presenting a somewhat elongated shape. Two well-defined spiral arms are clearly visible, appearing rather open and loosely wound. A strong central bar structure is evident, bisecting the bulge region. The bulge itself seems relatively small in comparison to the disk, implying it is likely a late type spiral galaxy. There is no obvious signs of a major merger. The general colour is yellowish, with a brighter and whiter nucleus. There may be a small amount of ongoing star formation, if the smudges are HII regions.
