The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. The dominant color is a yellow-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population with relatively little ongoing star formation. A slight bulge appears to be present in the center of the disk, and it appears to be more round than boxy. There is no obvious evidence of a major merger or tidal disturbance, though minor asymmetries or disturbances are not entirely ruled out due to the image quality and edge-on orientation. Dust lanes or structures within the disk are not clearly visible, but they are hard to determine based on this image. The disk appears relatively smooth in texture, but at a distance, it could appear smooth in texture, regardless.
