The galaxy presents as a somewhat edge-on spiral, though the image resolution limits precise morphological classification. The central bulge region exhibits a smooth, concentrated appearance, suggesting a significant population of older stars. The overall color is reddish-yellow, indicative of a stellar population with a lower proportion of young, massive stars. One side of the galactic disk has a more apparent red shift indicating active star formation. There appears to be little or no distinct dust lane visible, but the lower resolution may obscure such features. The galaxy is generally undisturbed, with no obvious signs of ongoing major mergers or tidal interactions.
