The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a bright central bulge that seems to dominate the structure, with the galaxy's disk extending horizontally across the image. Dust lanes are subtly apparent, obscuring and reddening the light from the disk. The disk exhibits a relatively smooth appearance, with limited visible signs of distinct spiral arms. The overall color suggests an older stellar population. The galaxy is elongated, with a clear major and minor axis.
