The galaxy presents as a spiral system viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent bulge dominates the central region, appearing bright and with a color gradient transitioning from yellow-green at the core to a more yellow-orange toward the periphery. The disk is thin and elongated, with a faint, somewhat irregular structure hinting at the presence of dust lanes obscuring some of the starlight. One side of the disk appears to be more extended than the other. There are some areas of bluer light in the disk, indicating possible star forming regions. These regions are not very pronounced, suggesting a relatively low star formation rate overall. Some asymmetry is present within the galaxy indicating the possiblity of minor gravitational interactions.
