The galaxy is an edge-on spiral system. The bulge appears relatively large and elongated along the plane of the disk, exhibiting a rounded morphology. Little to no arm structure is discernible, consistent with it being viewed edge-on. The dust lane appears thick and well-defined, bisecting the galaxy along its major axis and obscuring the central bulge. There does not appear to be any major disturbances in the morphology. There is a distinct, reddish gradient towards the bulge, likely indicating an older stellar population. The outer regions appear bluer, indicating areas of active star formation.
