The object presents as an edge-on spiral galaxy. A prominent, somewhat diffuse bulge dominates the central region, appearing yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk extends outwards from the bulge, with a noticeable blueish tint, indicative of ongoing star formation, particularly towards the outer edges. Dust lanes appear to be present, obscuring some of the light from the bulge and adding texture to the disk. There are subtle signs of tidal disturbances along the upper edge, though the galaxy generally seems undisturbed.
