The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a significant angle, though not quite edge-on. There is a noticeable central bulge, appearing as a concentrated region of relatively uniform, yellowish-white light. The spiral arms are prominent and have a fairly symmetrical two-armed structure, extending outwards from the central bulge, with a medium winding. The arms themselves show some evidence of patchiness, suggesting regions of differing stellar densities or ongoing star formation. There appears to be a bar-like structure spanning across the bulge. The outer regions of the galaxy have a less distinct and somewhat flocculent appearance. There is no obvious evidence of major merging activity, although there might be some minor distortion to one side.
