The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, observed edge-on from our vantage point. Its apparent shape is elongated. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring some of the starlight and providing further evidence for its disk-like structure. The central bulge is somewhat subtle, appearing slightly rounded. Faint hints of spiral arm structure can be discerned within the disk. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, though minor irregularities or tidal features might be present.
