The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, likely viewed at a relatively high inclination, not quite edge-on, but approaching it. There is evidence of spiral arm structure, though it is somewhat indistinct and not sharply defined. The arms appear flocculent rather than grand design. The central bulge is moderately sized and shows a relatively smooth light distribution. The galactic disk presents a bluish hue, which suggests the presence of ongoing star formation. There may be a weak bar feature present across the nucleus of the galaxy. There is no readily apparent major disturbance or signs of a recent merger.
