This galaxy presents as an apparent edge-on spiral. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the midplane and contributing to its perceived narrowness. Faint blue light is visible above and below the dust lane, suggesting the presence of young, hot stars in the galactic disk. The bulge is not particularly pronounced and displays no obvious boxy structure. No signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances are readily apparent. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed with the exception of a slight irregularity in the disk's outer regions, possibly due to a minor gravitational interaction.
