The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure viewed nearly edge-on. The primary color appears to be yellowish-orange, with a concentration of light toward the central region, indicative of a possible bulge. The dust lane running along the galactic plane obscures some of the light from the central bulge. Some minor asymmetries or disturbances are potentially visible along the outer edges of the disk. No obvious signs of recent major mergers or intense star formation regions are apparent in this image. The galaxy appears relatively smooth.
