The galaxy appears as an edge-on spiral with an apparent reddish hue, suggesting a population of older stars and potentially a considerable amount of dust obscuring bluer light from newer star formation regions. The disk exhibits an elongated shape with a high degree of ellipticity, appearing significantly flattened. There is evidence of a central bulge, but it is not distinctly prominent. The galaxy shows no obvious signs of tidal disturbances or major mergers. The relatively smooth appearance might suggest a lack of ongoing major star formation. There may be a smaller nearby galaxy that appears relatively smooth.
