The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a distinct, elongated morphology. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's disk, obscuring a significant portion of the central bulge and contributing to the galaxy's reddish hue. The central bulge appears to be generally smooth, with a largely round shape. Faint, diffuse light extends outwards from the disk, suggesting the presence of a stellar halo. The galaxy shows no obvious signs of tidal disturbances or major mergers. Star formation appears to be concentrated in the disk.
