The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy seen at an oblique angle, possibly edge-on. There is a central bulge region that is brighter and yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population. Extending outwards from this central region is a fainter disk, elongated and cigar shaped. The disk appears to be mostly smooth, but there are subtle hints of spiral arm structure. The dust lane appears to be relatively subdued. The lack of distinct, bright knots or nebulae suggests a relatively low rate of on-going star formation. There are no obvious signs of recent major merger events, although subtle disturbances cannot be ruled out based on the morphology. The galaxy seems to be a field galaxy, with no apparent companion galaxies in immediate proximity. Based on the color, the stellar population is likely a mix of old and young stars. The galaxy is moderately luminous.
