The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed almost entirely edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's disk, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge appears to be small and relatively faint. Faint blue regions are visible along the outer edges of the disk, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and regions of ongoing star formation. The overall color of the galaxy is moderately red, indicating a population of older stars. There is no indication of significant tidal disturbances or mergers. The galaxy is smooth and appears relatively undisturbed.
