The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a distinct disk morphology. The structure displays a prominent central bulge, which appears somewhat boxy in shape, and is surrounded by a relatively smooth stellar population. Light from the bulge appears more redshifted than that of the disk. Dust obscuration is visually apparent within the galactic plane, manifesting as a dark lane bisecting the galaxy.

There appears to be a second, dwarf galaxy nearby, perhaps an elliptical galaxy. It appears to be relatively compact and shows a bluish hue indicating that the stars present are younger than those of the larger galaxy.
