The dust lane is very off center. Can someone care explaining?

if you were looking at it from a perfect edge on perspective (perpendicular) it would be right down the centre but you are looking at the front of an ellipse because the perpendicular is off by approx 10deg.

Just to say that this is not an elliptical galaxy. it's a disk or spiral galaxy seen almost edge one with a gorgeous dustlane !
