The galaxy presents as an elongated, edge-on disk galaxy with a prominent central bulge. The bulge appears relatively bright and concentrated. The disk is not perfectly smooth; there's some indication of dust lanes obscuring sections of the disk, particularly on the near and far edges as we view it, making the galaxy look like a thin line. The light from the disk fades moving outward, and some slight warping may be present. There are no obvious signs of active merging or major tidal disturbances.
