The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, disk-shaped object. It appears to be viewed at a high inclination, nearly edge-on. There is a slight brightening towards the center, suggesting a bulge component, though it is not particularly prominent. The galaxy displays a bluish hue, hinting at the presence of younger stellar populations and ongoing star formation. There may be some slight irregularities along the dust lane, possibly indicative of minor disturbances, though no major mergers are apparent.
