The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, characterized by a flattened disk morphology. A prominent dust lane appears to bisect the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring light and lending a darkened, diffuse appearance. The central bulge seems to be somewhat rounded. Color gradients indicate that the bulge and inner disk regions exhibit an orange hue, transitioning to slightly bluer tones towards the outer reaches of the disk. There may be some minor disturbances in the surrounding region. There does not appear to be a strong signature of recent or ongoing major merging activity.
