The galaxy presents as a slightly elongated, disk-like structure with a prominent central bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The disk itself appears to be composed of a mix of stellar populations, with hints of bluer regions indicative of younger, hotter stars and possible ongoing star formation. The spiral arm structure is not clearly defined, appearing somewhat flocculent or patchy. There is a subtle dust lane visible along the major axis of the disk. The galaxy appears relatively smooth overall, lacking strong evidence of tidal disturbances or a recent major merger. The ellipticity of the galaxy suggests it is not seen perfectly edge-on, but rather at a moderate inclination angle relative to our line of sight.
