The galaxy presents as a spiral, observed at an intermediate inclination. There is a distinct central bulge, appearing yellowish, but it does not dominate the overall structure. The galaxy exhibits prominent, albeit somewhat distorted, spiral arms. The arms appear clumpy, with varying degrees of blue tint, suggesting ongoing star formation. The dust lanes within the spiral arms are difficult to resolve. There seems to be a sign of a minor galactic merging event or tidal disturbance. The overall color suggests a mix of old and young stellar populations. The general morphology indicates a late-type spiral galaxy with active star formation.
