The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, with a prominent, flattened disk. There is evidence of a bulge, primarily round, though difficult to discern due to the edge-on orientation. The galaxy appears to be of intermediate size for its type. Dust lanes are visible within the disk, causing noticeable obscuration of starlight. Patches of blue star formation regions are observed, primarily concentrated in the outer disk. Based on the color distribution and the observed dust lanes, it would seem that the star formation rate is moderate, but it is difficult to say for sure due to the angle we are observing it from. There is no visible evidence of a major merger or significant tidal disturbance.
