This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral system. A prominent, moderately bright central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a yellowish hue. The disk, viewed almost entirely edge-on, appears elongated and extends significantly beyond the bulge on either side. Dust lanes are visibly obscuring the disk, manifesting as dark regions, particularly near the central bulge. These dust lanes contribute to the apparent reddening of light emitted from regions behind them. The galaxy exhibits minimal signs of recent or ongoing major merger activity, with the overall morphology appearing relatively undisturbed. The outer regions of the disk fade gradually, suggesting a relatively smooth distribution of stars. A slight asymmetry is present, potentially indicating minor interactions or internal disturbances.
