This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, likely viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane obscures the central bulge, bisecting the galaxy horizontally. This lane appears dark and well-defined, suggesting a significant presence of interstellar dust. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth light distribution outside of the dust lane, with a slight concentration towards the center. Faint blue-ish regions are visible along the edges, perhaps indicating areas of recent star formation. No obvious spiral arm structure or bar is discernible from this view. There might be a slight warp or disturbance, seen by the asymmetrical extent of the disk. The redder regions near the edges suggests possible older stellar populations. There is no obvious sign of a major merger.
