The galaxy presents a somewhat elliptical morphology. There is a bright, concentrated central bulge region which appears yellowish in color, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer light extending from the central bulge suggests the presence of a disk. The galaxy appears to be an edge-on or nearly edge-on spiral galaxy. Evidence of a bar structure is strongly indicated within the central region, extending along the major axis of the galaxy. The disk exhibits a generally smooth appearance, with only faint hints of spiral arm structure. The outer regions of the disk are indistinct, fading into the background sky level, but are relatively undisturbed, showing no major signs of ongoing or recent mergers. The overall color profile suggests a relatively evolved system, however, the bluer light in the disk indicates continuing star formation.
