The galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at a high inclination, nearly edge-on. A prominent central bulge, moderately sized, exhibits a yellowish-white color suggesting an older stellar population. A disk component is visible, but tightly wound. There appears to be some evidence of spiral arm structure, though somewhat obscured by the inclination. The disk shows variations in color, with a bluish tinge at the outer edges of the disk, possibly indicating regions of active star formation. No strong bar feature is apparent. There is a very slight disturbance in the overall symmetry of the disk, but it appears to be fairly normal.
