The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral system. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge and near side of the disk. The disk appears relatively thin and elongated with a slight warp. The bulge exhibits an ellipsoidal shape, possibly with some features implying a somewhat boxy form. There is no obvious evidence of ongoing major mergers or significant tidal disturbances. The galaxy appears smooth in general, with no apparent distinct spiral arms or bright star-forming regions. It exhibits a moderate level of star formation. Based on the magnitudes and color indices, this galaxy is relatively blue, which is consistent with active star formation.
