The galaxy appears to be a relatively large, elongated, disk-shaped system, seen at a high inclination relative to our line of sight. The central bulge is prominent and exhibits a concentrated, bright yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk appears asymmetrical and the dust lanes within the galaxy are not obvious; the galaxy shows some signs of minor disruption, but has a relatively smooth structure overall. The system is dominated by redder wavelengths of light.
