The galaxy appears as a flattened, disk-shaped structure, presented edge-on relative to our line of sight. There is evidence of a central bulge that appears a yellow, whitish hue. The outer regions of the disk exhibit a bluer coloration, suggesting the presence of younger stellar populations, and possibly ongoing star formation. The disk appears relatively smooth, with only minor disturbances, lacking distinct spiral arm structures. There is a faint dust lane visible along the plane of the galaxy.
