This galaxy exhibits a clear disk-like structure oriented edge-on relative to our line of sight. A prominent central bulge is visible, appearing somewhat rounded in shape. There is a hint of a boxy appearance to a small portion of the bulge. Dust lanes are prominent along the galactic plane, obscuring light and creating a dark band across the galaxy's midsection. The galaxy displays a smooth texture in regions exterior to the central bulge and disk. No signs of major tidal disturbances or ongoing major mergers are apparent.
