This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral. The central bulge appears bright and yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars. Dust lanes are faintly visible along the galactic plane, obscuring some of the starlight. The disk is relatively smooth in appearance. It is difficult to ascertain the presence of spiral arms due to the edge-on orientation. The overall shape is elongated, consistent with a highly inclined disk. There is no clear evidence of any major merger activity or strong tidal disturbances.
