The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge appears relatively small and indistinct. Faint spiral arms are visible extending from the central region, exhibiting a mottled texture, potentially indicating active star formation regions within them. Overall, the galaxy displays a blueish tint. The outer regions of the disk fade gradually into the background sky, making it difficult to determine the full extent of the disk. No obvious signs of major interaction or merging activity are apparent, though a slight warp in the disk may indicate a past or ongoing minor interaction.
