This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral galaxy with a prominent, elongated disk. A central bulge is visible, exhibiting a rounded morphology. There may be some obscuration by dust lanes running along the plane of the disk, with the edge-on orientation presenting a significant obscuration. The disk appears relatively smooth and undisturbed, showing little evidence of tidal interactions or recent major mergers. The galaxy demonstrates a color gradient from the central bulge, which is yellowish and suggests an older stellar population, towards the outer regions of the disk, which appear bluer. The galaxy exhibits a measurable extent, with a suggestion of faint spiral arms, as it fades into the background sky.
