The galaxy presents as an elongated, edge-on spiral, with a major axis significantly greater than its minor axis. A prominent central bulge is visible, appearing relatively smooth and concentrated. Fainter, diffuse light extends outwards from the central bulge along the galactic plane, indicating the presence of a disk. The galaxy exhibits a noticeable color gradient, transitioning from a bluer hue near the core to redder tones towards the outer regions of the disk. Dust lanes are subtly visible, particularly along the mid-plane of the disk, obscuring some of the background light. There are no signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances, although subtle irregularities in the outer disk cannot be entirely ruled out based on this image alone.
