This galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy with a relatively bright and somewhat compact central bulge. The bulge appears yellowish in color, suggesting a population of older stars. The disk is oriented at a considerable inclination to our line of sight, but not quite edge-on.

Spiral arms are apparent, though not very tightly wound. They exhibit a bluish tint, suggestive of ongoing star formation. There may be two main spiral arms, but it is hard to be certain. No strong bar structure is obvious in the central region. There is no apparent major ongoing merger or significant tidal disturbance visible.
