This galaxy presents as a relatively small, edge-on spiral. A prominent dust lane bisects the elongated central bulge, obscuring much of the light emitted from the core. The bulge itself appears to be elongated. The outer disk shows evidence of active star formation, seen in bluer regions. The galaxy displays a relatively high degree of internal organization. There is some minor visual evidence for tidal disturbances or interactions, but it appears mostly undisturbed.
