The galaxy presents as a relatively faint, elongated structure exhibiting a distinct disk-like morphology. The galaxy is oriented approximately edge-on with respect to our line of sight. A prominent bulge is not obviously discernible, but there does seem to be an area of slightly increased brightness in the galactic center. There may be evidence of tidal disturbances. There appears to be two bright areas along the arm. The arm of the galaxy seems to have some star formation based on the colors. Overall, the galaxy appears to be of moderate size.
