The object presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at an oblique angle to the plane of the disk. Spiral arms are apparent, although not sharply defined. A central bulge is visible, exhibiting a more concentrated luminosity than the surrounding disk, which appears to flatten outwards. It is elongated along one axis, which suggests an intermediate inclination to our line of sight. The disk shows mottled structure, indicating regions of star formation activity and dust obscuration. Faint indications of a bar feature can be made out across the bulge. There is no obvious major disturbance or merging apparent in this image.
