The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral. It exhibits a prominent, elongated bulge that appears smooth and concentrated. The galactic disk is highly inclined with respect to our line of sight, almost perfectly edge-on. There is a moderate amount of dust present within the disk, which appears as a slight obscuration. There are no obvious signs of recent major merging events, though minor disturbances may be present. The disk appears relatively undisturbed, suggesting a period of quiescent evolution. The overall color is shifted towards the red end of the spectrum.
