The galaxy presents as a highly elongated, edge-on disc galaxy. A prominent dust lane is visible bisecting the galaxy along its major axis, indicating substantial interstellar medium obscuration. The central bulge is difficult to discern given the edge-on orientation, but appears relatively small. Color gradients suggest a younger stellar population concentrated in the disc, with bluer hues dominating, contrasting with the possibly older stellar population of any bulge, which is of a more reddish hue. There are no indications of strong spiral arm structure, as expected for this viewing angle. The galaxy is otherwise smooth in appearance, lacking any obvious signs of recent mergers or interactions.
