The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure viewed nearly edge-on. There is a noticeable bulge component, appearing somewhat rounded and centrally concentrated, with the dust lane wrapping around the outside of the bulge of the galaxy. The disk exhibits a diffuse, hazy quality with a yellow hue, with some possible irregularities that suggests relatively recent, but low-level star formation activity, although this may simply be a result of the image quality. There does not appear to be any signs of tidal features, or ongoing major merging activity with any other systems. The morphology strongly suggests a spiral galaxy type.
