The galaxy presents as a moderately inclined spiral system. A central bulge is readily apparent, exhibiting a bright, concentrated luminosity. The spiral arms are somewhat flocculent in appearance, displaying a patchy distribution of star formation regions. The arms are tightly wound and have a smooth texture, but are still easily seen. Dust lanes are visible within the spiral arms, contributing to the overall mottled appearance. The disk of the galaxy is notably elliptical, and the disk overall is quite extended, indicating that it is a fairly large spiral galaxy. There is a minor disturbance of some sort on the edge of the galaxy, but it doesn't appear to have significant impact on the shape. The galaxy's color suggests a population of both young, blue stars and older, redder stars.
