The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral system. A prominent, relatively thin disk is visible, exhibiting a smooth texture. There is no boxy bulge present and there is no major merger disturbance, although, there is a slight indication of a minor disturbance. Dust lanes are present, obscuring portions of the galactic plane and reddening the starlight behind them. This object is likely a relatively massive, disk-dominated galaxy, exhibiting moderate star formation activity based on its absolute magnitudes.
