The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge region exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, suggesting a relatively high stellar density. Star formation seems to be occurring, shown by the blue hues in the galactic disk. There does not appear to be any major disturbances in the galactic structure, however, there are small irregularities throughout the disk. No obvious signs of an active galactic nucleus can be seen. The average surface brightness is likely dim.
