The galaxy presents as a spiral structure viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring light from the far side of the disk and creating a distinct dark band along its major axis. Faint stellar populations can be discerned above and below the dust lane, suggesting a relatively thin disk structure. There may be slight warping of the disk, or minor tidal disturbances given the asymmetries in the structure. The galaxy appears relatively isolated, with no obvious signs of major mergers or close interactions with companion galaxies.
