The galaxy appears as a relatively small, edge-on spiral system. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring a portion of the stellar light. The disk exhibits a slight warp, more prominent at one end. There is evidence of active star formation, indicated by the blue hue. There is a possible companion galaxy on the far right of the image. The bulge component of the galaxy appears relatively small and possibly rounded. No obvious signs of a major merger are visible.
