The galaxy presents as an elongated, edge-on spiral structure. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the central bulge region. The bulge appears to have a rounded profile. The overall color profile suggests ongoing but relatively quiescent star formation activity. Blue hues are visible in the disk, potentially indicating the presence of younger stellar populations, although the dust lane complicates a precise determination. The outer regions appear diffuse, lacking distinct spiral arm features; perhaps a smooth disk. No indications of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances are apparent.
