This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a high inclination, nearly edge-on. There is a bright, concentrated bulge which dominates the central region, giving the galaxy a smooth appearance overall. The disk component is visible as a flattened structure extending from the central bulge, appearing somewhat dusty. I can resolve some irregularities within the disk, but no distinct spiral arms are visible. The disk exhibits color variations, including areas with bluish tints, likely representing regions of recent or ongoing star formation. The galaxy shows no evidence of a major merger or strong tidal features but there may be a minor disturbance.
