The galaxy presents as an elongated, edge-on spiral with a prominent central bulge. The bulge appears smoothly distributed, with a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk of the galaxy is oriented almost perfectly edge-on, displaying a relatively smooth and somewhat indistinct structure. The integrated light appears to have an inclination to the line of sight approaching 90 degrees. There is some evidence of obscuring dust lanes faintly visible within the disk. There is a possible indication of a minor disturbance, as there appears to be a minor distortion in the light.
