The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a high inclination angle relative to our line of sight, but not quite edge-on. The central bulge is present, but indistinct and seemingly not very large. The galactic disk has a somewhat flocculent appearance, showing clear spiral arms. The arms are relatively open and loosely wound. The presence of a bar feature can be inferred. No obvious signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances are discernible. The star formation rate appears modest, with no overwhelmingly bright knots of star formation visible.
