The galaxy appears to be an elongated, cigar-shaped spiral galaxy with a relatively smooth appearance. It is not perfectly edge-on, but rather at a moderate inclination. The central bulge is bright and somewhat diffuse, exhibiting a whitish-yellow hue. The disk is visible, appearing bluer in color, particularly at one end, potentially indicating regions of active star formation. There appears to be some distortion or disruption at one end, possibly indicative of a minor disturbance or early stages of a merger event. The color gradient shifts subtly from the center outwards, suggesting variations in stellar populations or dust content. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a moderate degree of smoothness with evidence of both spiral structure and potential interaction.
