The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a flattened disk morphology. The bulge appears somewhat boxy with an overall smooth light distribution, implying that the galaxy might have undergone some form of merger in the past. The strong concentration of light towards the center indicates a significant stellar population within the bulge region. Moving outward, the disk is seen to be elongated, viewed almost perfectly edge-on. There is no clear indication of strong dust lanes obscuring the bulge, although the faint color in the center may be caused by low-lying dust. Faint arms may be present, but are not distinct, contributing slightly to the outer halo of the galaxy. Overall, the galaxy has a low surface brightness, with the light appearing very uniform. The red shift value indicates that this is a relatively distant galaxy.
