The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, disk-shaped structure oriented approximately edge-on. There is a noticeable central bulge, which appears brighter and more condensed than the outer regions of the disk. The disk itself exhibits a gradient in luminosity, fading from the central bulge towards the edges.

A faint reddish band can be seen across the disk of the galaxy. This band is likely a dust lane, obscuring the light from the stars behind it. The galaxy exhibits a blueish tinge, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars, potentially indicating ongoing or recent star formation, but could also just be caused by redshift. The overall morphology suggests a disk galaxy, potentially of type Sb or Sc. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merging events or significant tidal distortions.
