This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a central bulge that is bright and concentrated, that fades somewhat abruptly into the rest of the disk. The galactic disk is elongated and relatively thin. Within the disk, there are indications of patchy, blue star-forming regions, suggesting ongoing star formation. These regions appear somewhat irregular and not symmetrically distributed along the disk, perhaps indicating minor disturbances or interactions. The galaxy does not show any obvious signs of a major merger, but subtle tidal features cannot be ruled out at this resolution. There is no clear dust lane visible. The overall colour of the galaxy is slightly blueish.
