The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure viewed nearly edge-on. A central bulge, exhibiting a yellow-orange hue, is apparent; this suggests an older stellar population concentrated towards the galaxy's center. The disk itself displays a gradient in color, transitioning from a yellow-green closer to the bulge, to a bluer tint at the outer edges, potentially indicating younger stars.

The disk appears relatively smooth and continuous. There is subtle dust lane obscuring the light from stars at the center. Faint color variation suggests a higher rate of star formation. The galaxy is well-defined with moderate brightness, suggesting it is quite massive.
