The galaxy presents as a cigar-shaped, edge-on spiral. The central bulge appears a yellowish hue, indicating an older stellar population likely dominated by red giants and other evolved stars. Moving outward from the bulge, the disk exhibits a bluer tint, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. There is a hint of dust lane obscuring some of the starlight in the disk, particularly near the central bulge. The structure is relatively smooth with some irregularities in the disk structure. There does not appear to be a grand design spiral pattern. There are no apparent signs of any major mergers occurring. The object is moderately luminous, with the spiral arms appearing less tightly wound.
