The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy with a relatively small bulge and a prominent disk. The disk is not viewed edge-on but at an angle. The spiral arms are clearly visible, with a somewhat tightly wound structure. There is evidence of asymmetry in the spiral arm structure, possibly indicating a minor gravitational interaction. The central bulge appears small and indistinct. The overall color of the galaxy is bluish, suggesting a relatively high population of young, hot stars. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger, though there might be some tidal distortion. A weak bar might be present, but it isn't clearly defined. Some dust lanes are visible within the spiral arms. There may be some star forming regions as visible by areas of intense color in the arms.
