The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. The central bulge is elongated and exhibits a yellow-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Faint blue light traces along the edges of the galaxy indicating active star formation within the spiral arms. The galaxy displays a relatively smooth morphology, with no obvious signs of major disturbances or mergers. The elongated shape implies that it is being viewed at a high inclination. The galaxy does not appear particularly dusty; however there may be small dust lanes within its arms that are not clearly resolvable. It displays features consistent with ongoing star formation.
