The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral. A prominent dust lane obscures much of the central region and bisects the disk. The bulge appears to be largely spheroidal. A bright central region is visible, though partially obscured. There are no signs of spiral arm structure resolved. There is a noticeable, extended halo surrounding the disk, with some evidence of recent or ongoing star formation. The galaxy exhibits a moderate level of star formation, with estimates suggesting a substantial stellar mass. There is no indication of a major ongoing merger, though some minor tidal disturbances cannot be ruled out.
