The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a high degree of inclination relative to our line of sight. The galactic disk appears to be prominent. Light from the bulge is visible, appearing slightly elongated and possessing a centrally concentrated brightness profile, suggesting a spheroid component. The disk is a blueish/white, indicating the presence of Population I stars and ongoing star formation. The disk also contains dark dust lanes which appear to traverse its length. No signs of interactions with other galaxies are directly apparent in this image. Overall, the galaxy appears to be in a relatively undisturbed state.
