The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy seen edge-on, with a high degree of inclination relative to the observer's line of sight. The disk appears elongated and cigar-shaped. A prominent dust lane bisects the galactic bulge, indicative of significant interstellar dust obscuring the starlight. The bulge exhibits a smooth, relatively featureless appearance, suggesting an older stellar population. There is some asymmetry visible within the disk, specifically a diffuse, disturbed section on one side, possibly indicating a minor tidal interaction or internal kinematic perturbation. There may be faint signs of star formation regions on the outer edges of the disk, signified by areas of bluer light emission, but these are not particularly pronounced. The overall color profile suggests a system with a mix of stellar populations, with a significant contribution from older, redder stars in the bulge and potentially some younger, bluer stars in the disk. There is no central bar structure observed.
