This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, with a prominent, centrally concentrated bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population, likely dominated by Population II stars.  Dust lanes are faintly visible along the galactic plane, obscuring some of the starlight. The disk appears relatively smooth with some subtle clumpy features, and exhibits a bluish tint, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. There may be some minor irregularities along the disk, indicative of a potential minor disturbance or interaction. The overall shape is elongated, consistent with an edge-on disk galaxy.
