The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, disk-shaped system viewed at a significant inclination to our line of sight. It appears to be fairly concentrated with a bright central bulge. There is some indication of disk structure extending beyond the bulge, but the features are somewhat indistinct and lack sharp definition. The overall color gradient suggests an aging stellar population, possibly with ongoing, but suppressed star formation activity, particularly in the outer regions of the disk. The shape suggests a slight elongation, but the isophotes appear relatively smooth, indicating that the galaxy is likely not undergoing any major merging events or disturbances at this time. Its morphology is somewhere between a flattened disk and a cigar shape.
