The object presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at a high inclination, nearly edge-on. The central bulge is not readily apparent, implying a smaller bulge fraction or obscuration by dust. The galactic disk is visible, displaying a somewhat smooth texture. There are indications of some degree of arm structure, though it is indistinct and disrupted. The color appears generally blueish. There are no obvious signs of a major merger, though there are some hints of faint tidal features or minor disturbances in the outer regions of the disk. This is a late type galaxy, undergoing active star formation.
