The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane is visible, bisecting the galaxy's light along its major axis, indicating the presence of significant interstellar medium. The central bulge is relatively indistinct, appearing somewhat elongated and not sharply defined, blending into the disk. The disk exhibits a relatively smooth light distribution with some patchiness, hinting at spiral arm structure, although these are not clearly resolved. There is evidence of some star formation, as indicated by the slightly bluer colors visible. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger or tidal disturbances, suggesting that the galaxy is relatively undisturbed. Overall, it appears to be a relatively evolved, edge-on spiral galaxy with ongoing but subdued star formation.
