The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy seen edge-on. The overall color is relatively uniform, tending toward yellow. There is a brighter, somewhat diffuse central bulge that seems to blend into the disk. There is an irregularity or possible merger event occurring in the morphology of this galaxy. The disk is not uniform, appearing distorted in appearance. A brighter region on one side of the bulge indicates possible recent star formation in that region, or possibly the tidal effects of the merging event. There is no obvious presence of significant dust lanes.
