This galaxy appears to be a relatively compact, edge-on spiral. The central bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk is very thin and elongated. There is some indication of dust lanes within the disk, particularly obscuring the light from the bulge region. The galaxy is relatively smooth in appearance, with no obvious signs of major disturbances. There is a hint of bluer light extending from the center of the disk, suggesting a small amount of star formation.
