The galaxy appears to be a spiral type, viewed at a significant inclination, but not quite edge-on. Two tightly wound spiral arms can be traced from what seems to be a barred structure at its center. The bar is oriented at roughly 10 degrees from the vertical. The central bulge appears moderately sized, displaying a yellow hue consistent with an older stellar population. The spiral arms show bluer regions suggestive of ongoing star formation, but are not sharply defined. There is no visual evidence of a major ongoing merger, however some signs of minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. The overall shape appears relatively regular.
