The galaxy presents as a flattened, disk-shaped structure viewed nearly edge-on. The central region exhibits a concentrated, bright bulge, appearing approximately circular in projection. The luminosity decreases gradually from the bulge outward along the disk. A prominent dust lane is suspected, bisecting the galaxy along its major axis. However, the dust lane is not entirely opaque and the galaxy is visible in the center with some light filtering through. The overall color of the galaxy appears to be redder in the central bulge, suggesting an older stellar population, with a bluer hue noticeable in the outer disk, consistent with ongoing or recent star formation. The disk itself appears relatively smooth, lacking any obvious signs of strong spiral arm structures or significant irregularities in its light distribution. There appears to be minimal signs of tidal disturbances or interactions with neighboring galaxies. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively undisturbed spiral galaxy viewed edge-on, possibly undergoing modest levels of star formation.
