This galaxy presents as a relatively bright, edge-on spiral system. The central bulge exhibits a smooth, rounded morphology and appears yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population. A thin, well-defined disk is evident, with redder hues concentrated towards the outer edges of the disk, indicative of dust lanes and possibly regions of on-going star formation. The bluer central regions of the disc may show pockets of star formation. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merging events, though very minor disturbances cannot be ruled out.
