This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a flattened disk morphology. The dust lane bisecting the galaxy is not very prominent, but is still present and visible. There is a central bulge which appears somewhat elongated along the major axis. The color gradient suggests a relatively evolved stellar population, and exhibits lower levels of star formation. No signs of a recent major merger or tidal disturbances are apparent. The bulge appears rounded, but there is some irregularity. The overall structure appears smooth and relatively undisturbed.
