The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-like structure viewed nearly edge-on. A dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring a significant portion of the galactic plane. There is a distinct lack of prominent spiral arms, suggesting that the galaxy is either a lenticular galaxy or a spiral galaxy with tightly wound arms. The light distribution is relatively smooth. There is no obvious central bulge, which may be obscured by dust. A slight asymmetry can be observed, possibly due to minor gravitational disturbance. Overall the galaxy appears to be a relatively quiescent system with a low star formation rate.
