The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane obscures the central bulge, giving the galaxy a flattened, linear appearance. The central bulge appears rounded and is more concentrated with light than the rest of the galaxy. It has a bright yellowish hue. The disk shows less structure, with light appearing more diffuse and spread throughout. Faint blue light indicates potential regions of star formation. There may be some minor disturbance in the disk, it appears slightly warped or asymmetrical, which could indicate possible gravitational interactions.
