The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at a high inclination angle, close to edge-on.  A prominent dust lane is visible, obscuring a significant portion of the galactic disk. The dust lane appears dark and complex, indicating uneven distribution of interstellar material.  Diffuse light emanates from the galactic bulge.  There may be some indications of minor disturbances in the outer regions of the disk, possibly tidal features, although they are faint and require further investigation. The galaxy appears to have a relatively low surface brightness, with a generally blue color. The image suggests ongoing star formation, particularly concentrated in the outer disk, possibly along spiral arm structures, although these are difficult to discern due to the high inclination.
