The galaxy presents as a late-type spiral, seen almost perfectly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galactic disk, obscuring the central bulge and adding to the overall reddish hue. The bulge itself appears relatively small and rounded, likely a classical morphology. Star formation appears to be occurring, as evidenced by the blueish tint along the outer edges of the disk where it appears less obscured by dust. There is no evidence of any significant tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers. The galaxy exhibits a smooth, undisturbed disk. Based on its apparent size and luminosity, this is likely a substantial galaxy.
