The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, with a bright, prominent central bulge. The bulge appears smooth and somewhat spheroidal. The disk is relatively thin, with an apparent slight warp. There is a dust lane visible along the midplane, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. The overall color is relatively red, suggesting an older stellar population. There appears to be little to no evidence of recent major merger activity or significant star formation. The disk shows subtle variations in brightness, possibly indicating the presence of spiral arms or patchy star formation regions, however the structure overall seems smooth. A small dim object is seen on the left side of the galactic disc.
