The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring the starlight from the far side of the disk. There are few distinct features or knots visible in the disk, and the galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth, uniform appearance along its length. The light is predominantly blue, but appears to be more red toward the center of the galaxy. There does not appear to be evidence of recent or ongoing major merger activity, although there is some visual indication of minor disturbances or irregularities in the disk's structure.
