The galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at a significant inclination.  A central bulge is apparent but appears relatively small compared to the disk.  Spiral arms are discernible, though moderately tightly wound.  There's evidence of star formation regions within the spiral arms indicated by a bluer hue, particularly towards the edges of the galaxy.  The overall shape of the galaxy is elliptical due to the inclination, with a noticeable flattening. The dust lanes are subtle, contributing to the galaxy's overall contrast.
