The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane is visible, bisecting the galaxy's light along its major axis, which contributes to its relative dimness. The bulge of the galaxy has a relatively smooth appearance, but doesn't appear to exhibit the typical spheroidal shape of classical bulges. The disc component displays hints of patchy light distribution, suggesting the presence of some star forming regions. The morphology appears undisturbed, with no obvious signs of interaction with other galaxies, although it's possible the galaxy has experienced recent minor disturbances.
