The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, oriented edge-on to our line of sight. A prominent dust lane is not readily apparent, however, the slight color gradients along the major axis suggest internal obscuration. The central bulge appears relatively smooth, with a moderate concentration of light. The overall color is somewhat blue. The disk appears fairly symmetric, exhibiting no obvious signs of major tidal interactions or ongoing mergers, although some minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. The disk appears somewhat thin.
