This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, with a high probability of being observed at a near 90-degree inclination. There is a distinct central bulge that appears to be largely composed of older stellar populations, indicated by the yellowish-orange hue. The dust lane along the galactic plane is readily apparent, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. Faint blueish regions, perhaps due to star formation activity, are visible. The galaxy exhibits no signs of any major ongoing mergers or significant tidal disturbances. There may be slight minor disturbances within the disk however. The bulge of the galaxy is rounded.
