This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy viewed at a high inclination, nearing edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and appears relatively bright. The disk is thin and shows some evidence of structure, although fine details are difficult to discern. There is a suggestion of dust lanes or some other form of obscuration along the plane of the disk. There is a faint, diffuse halo surrounding the galaxy, suggesting it may be composed of a relatively older stellar population. The overall color is slightly reddish, indicating a relatively old stellar population with possible on-going star formation. There are no obvious signs of recent major merger activity, but there could be some minor disturbances in the disk.
