The galaxy presents as an elongated, edge-on spiral with a moderately bright central bulge. A distinct dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. The outer regions of the disk exhibit a faint, bluish tinge, suggestive of more recent star formation. There is no prominent evidence of tidal disturbances or interactions with other galaxies. The bulge appears relatively smooth and symmetric, with no indications of a boxy structure. No distinct spiral arms can be discerned due to the edge-on orientation, but the disk appears relatively thin and well-defined.
