The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a prominent and well-defined disk. A large and extended bulge dominates the central region, with a mostly round shape. The disk appears relatively smooth. The galaxy shows evidence of on going star formation activity, as indicated by its blue hue. There is a second, smaller galaxy nearby, but there are no obvious signs of any tidal interactions or major disturbances; there may be a minor disturbance.
