The galaxy presents as a relatively large, barred spiral system, viewed nearly edge-on. The bulge appears small and moderately defined, exhibiting a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. A prominent, but ill-defined disk stretches outward, showing indications of spiral arm structure, with bluer tints tracing regions of active star formation. Dust lanes appear to be present along the disk, obscuring light and contributing to a mottled appearance. The system shows possible signs of minor disturbances, which could suggest minor interaction with another galaxy.
