The galaxy presents as a disk-shaped system, viewed nearly edge-on.  A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring light from the galactic center. There's a bulge with a relatively smooth appearance. Some faint extensions are visible, hinting at potential tidal interactions or disturbances, though they are not strongly pronounced. The disk shows signs of resolved structure, possibly spiral arm segments, but the near edge-on view makes detailed analysis difficult. The overall color suggests the presence of both older stellar populations and ongoing star formation.
