The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral or lenticular type. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the central region and causing a noticeable dimming of light on either side. The central bulge appears relatively concentrated and luminous, exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk appears thin and elongated, with a faint bluish tinge, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars. The galaxy's overall structure appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of a major merger or tidal interactions.
