The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed edge-on. A dust lane is faintly visible bisecting the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellow-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Evidence of star formation is present in the form of a few slightly redder regions at one edge of the galactic disc, suggesting areas of active HII regions. The galactic disc shows an extended shape, with some distortion possibly suggestive of a minor gravitational interaction.
