The galaxy appears as a flattened, disk-shaped object, presented edge-on relative to our line of sight. The overall color is slightly reddish. A central bulge is evident, appearing somewhat rounded. No distinct dust lanes are clearly visible, nor any obvious signs of active star formation regions. The disk appears relatively smooth and undisturbed, without major asymmetries or tidal features. It is possibly a disk galaxy, and appears to not be undergoing a major merger.
