The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed at a near edge-on orientation. A prominent dust lane appears to bisect the galaxy along its major axis. The central bulge is visible, appearing yellow, suggesting an older stellar population is present. Star formation appears to be prevalent throughout the disk, implied by the diffuse blue light. The disk is not perfectly smooth, displaying some irregularities. There is no obvious evidence of a major merger event, but the presence of a minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. The galaxy is approximately 6 kiloparsecs in radius.
