The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, with a prominent disk structure. There is a noticeable central bulge that appears somewhat rounded and elongated along the major axis. The disk exhibits a generally smooth texture, with a slight hint of dust lane obscuration along the mid-plane. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger, although there may be some minor distortions present within the disk, perhaps suggestive of past interactions or internal processes. The galaxy displays a color gradient, with the central bulge appearing more yellow/red and the outer disk showing bluer tints, potentially indicating a higher proportion of older stars in the bulge and younger, hotter stars in the disk.
