The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral with a prominent, bright central bulge. The bulge appears relatively smooth, and its shape is generally rounded, though high inclination obscures detailed morphology. The disk is seen almost perfectly edge-on, exhibiting some dust lane obscuration along the mid-plane. The galaxy displays a color gradient, with the bulge appearing yellower and redder, and the disk appearing bluer. There is a hint of spiral structure, but its obscured by its inclination. There is no sign of any major mergers or tidal features, though there is a slight amount of asymmetry observed. The galaxy shows little sign of recent significant star formation.
