The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on or at a high inclination. There is a central bulge that is brighter and more concentrated. The disk appears relatively smooth, exhibiting a faint blueish hue which suggests ongoing star formation. The overall structure appears largely undisturbed, although there may be some minor disturbances in the disk. There is no clear evidence of a major merger, strong tidal features or a prominent bar. The galaxy appears relatively faint, yet reasonably resolved, considering its likely distance.
