The galaxy presents as a relatively faint, late-type spiral, viewed almost edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge, suggesting the presence of significant interstellar dust within the galactic disk. The bulge appears relatively small. One region of the disk exhibits a bluer hue, indicating a likely area of active star formation. The overall structure exhibits signs of possible tidal disturbances or interactions, especially near the ends of the galaxy, suggesting a minor merger or interaction.
