The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral with a noticeable central bulge. The bulge appears relatively large and concentrated, displaying a yellowish hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population. There is a visible disk component. It is elongated and shows a gradient in color, shifting towards bluer tones further from the central bulge, suggesting ongoing star formation in the outer regions. The dust lane obscures the galaxy's midplane. There also appears to be a minor disruption in the shape of the outer disk. This could be the result of tidal interaction, suggesting a possible ongoing or recent merger event. The overall structure seems reasonably ordered, but subtle irregularities hint at potential dynamical disturbances.
