The galaxy appears to be an edge-on spiral galaxy. It exhibits a bright, centrally concentrated bulge, appearing nearly spherical. Dust lanes are faintly visible, obscuring some of the light from the bulge and disk, and are primarily located along the equatorial plane. The disk is relatively smooth in appearance, with a gradual fading of light intensity from the bulge outwards. There does not appear to be much active star formation, at least not enough to be easily seen in the image. The galaxy's overall color is somewhat red, indicating an older stellar population dominating the light. The halo appears very faint, which is consistent with a lower rate of star formation.
