This galaxy presents as a large, disk-dominated spiral system, observed at an oblique angle, appearing somewhat edge-on but with some features still visible on its face. There is a noticeable central bulge that appears of moderate size and is characterized by a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk exhibits a blue tint to it. The arms are apparent and somewhat tightly wound, suggestive of an Sa or Sb type spiral. There is no clear evidence of ongoing major merger activity, although some minor disturbances or asymmetries may be present in the outer regions of the disk. A faint bar can be inferred cutting across the galactic center.
