The galaxy presents as a relatively elongated, edge-on spiral. A distinct dust lane is visible, bisecting the galaxy's primary axis and obscuring a significant portion of the central bulge, which appears somewhat yellowish-orange. Fainter, diffuse bluish light emanates from the outer regions of the disk, potentially indicative of ongoing star formation. There is a possible small companion galaxy in the bottom left corner, that may be influencing the tidal forces of the main galaxy. There is no strong evidence of a significant merger event.
