The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped system viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane appears to bisect the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the central region and contributing to the redder color of the galaxy's midplane. The bulge region seems relatively small and faint, characterized by a yellowish hue. The disk itself displays a mottled texture with hints of spiral arm structure, though the high inclination angle makes it difficult to resolve details. The outer regions of the disk appear diffuse and less defined, fading into the background sky. The overall color of the galaxy is slightly bluer toward the outer edges of the disk, suggesting more recent star formation in these areas, but the general coloring indicates an aging stellar population.
