This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral. There is a prominent dust lane bisecting the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge, suggesting a considerable amount of interstellar dust within the galactic plane. The visible stellar population appears to be a mix of older, redder stars concentrated towards the center, and younger, bluer stars populating the outer disk. The disk appears to be relatively smooth, with no readily apparent spiral arm structure, which is expected for an edge-on orientation. There is no evidence of any major merger events or significant tidal disturbances. The bulge region, while obscured, does not appear to be boxy, and the presence of a bulge is indicated. The light profile exhibits a strong central concentration, with a gradual decrease in brightness towards the edges of the disk. The overall color of the galaxy is consistent with ongoing star formation, though this activity may be relatively modest.
