The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. It exhibits a bright central bulge that is elongated along the major axis of the galaxy. Diffuse blue light extends outwards from this central region, indicating the presence of a galactic disk. The disk appears relatively smooth. The galaxy has a generally faint overall appearance. It seems to be a relatively low mass, low star-formation rate galaxy, and shows signs of possible disturbances. The major axis is oriented approximately vertically in the image. There is evidence suggesting a higher concentration of neutral hydrogen (HI) in the galaxy.
