The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, characterized by a prominent, extended disk. The central bulge appears significant and elongated. Evidence for a dust lane is not clear, but a slight gradient suggests it may be present. The galaxy displays a relatively smooth appearance, with low levels of disturbance, and an absence of ongoing major mergers. The overall color suggests a substantial fraction of older stellar populations, particularly in the bulge, but there might also be some relatively active star formation occurring based on the bluer edges of the disk. The galaxy lacks a distinct boxy or peanut shaped bulge, and its overall morphology appears largely unperturbed.
