This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane is visible bisecting the galaxy along its major axis, indicating a significant presence of interstellar dust within the galactic disk. The central bulge is noticeably flattened and elongated along the galactic plane, with a moderate surface brightness. There are no significant disturbances visible within the disk, no boxy bulge is seen, nor any obvious signs of an active galactic nucleus or interaction with another galaxy. There is some indication of a blueish tinge to the disk, which suggests the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation within the galaxy. The galaxy's overall morphology suggests a relatively quiescent state of evolution.
