The galaxy appears as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a flattened disk-like structure. The central bulge is prominent, exhibiting a moderate concentration of light. There's a smooth transition of light intensity from the central bulge outward towards the edge of the disk. The galaxy's light suggests the presence of an older stellar population, but with a moderate ongoing star formation rate. No significant distortions or tidal features are readily apparent, indicating that it is a relatively undisturbed system, without evidence of a recent major merger.
