The galaxy presents as a highly inclined, near edge-on disk galaxy. A prominent dust lane is visible, bisecting the galaxy's light along its major axis. The dust lane appears relatively smooth, indicating a settled disk. Light from the galactic bulge is scattered on either side of the dust lane, creating a yellow and orange hue. There are no easily discernible spiral arm structures. The overall color of the galaxy is relatively red, with a slightly brighter and bluer core that transitions to a redder halo. There is no evidence of strong tidal features or major ongoing mergers.
