The galaxy presents as a relatively thin, elongated disk-like structure seen nearly edge-on. A central bulge is evident, though not particularly pronounced, appearing somewhat rounded in shape. Dust lanes are distinctly visible as dark obscuring bands primarily concentrated along the equatorial plane of the disk, indicative of the presence of interstellar medium within the galactic plane. The disk exhibits a bluish hue, particularly noticeable towards the outer regions, suggesting ongoing star formation and a population of younger, hotter stars in these areas. Fainter and more diffuse regions are observed extending outwards from the central bulge. There is no significant evidence of a major ongoing merger, or strong tidal disturbance of the galactic structure. Some minor irregularities and asymmetries are present.
