The object is a galaxy, likely a spiral viewed edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge, bright and concentrated, suggesting a significant population of older stars. Dust lanes are not readily apparent within the disk. The apparent lack of prominent HII regions and a relatively smooth appearance imply a low star formation rate. The morphology appears largely undisturbed, with no clear evidence of a major merger or significant tidal interactions. The galaxy has an elongated, cigar-like shape.
