The object appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. A flattened disk extends outwards from the bulge. Faint arms can be identified within the disk and appear to be relatively tightly wound. The disk contains a few areas of blueish light, which suggests regions of ongoing star formation. There may be a slight warp in the disk structure. There is a minor dust lane visible on the outer edge of the disk. The galaxy does not present a high level of disturbance, but does appear somewhat asymmetrical. No tidal tails or other features of major galactic mergers are readily apparent.
