The galaxy appears to be a relatively small, flattened disk galaxy oriented nearly edge-on with respect to our line of sight. The central bulge is not very prominent. A disk structure is clearly visible, exhibiting what appears to be active star formation. There are distinct regions of enhanced blue color within the disk, suggestive of the presence of hot, young stars. There is no apparent major disturbance of its morphology, and no signs of a recent major merger event. The shape is somewhere between a cigar and round and the disk looks to be fairly smooth.
