This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, seen edge-on. The central bulge is bright and somewhat diffuse, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue. A distinct, thin, blueish disk surrounds the bulge, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars. There is a slight warp or minor irregularity along the disk. Light from the galaxy extends outwards from the disk and bulge, though at a lower surface brightness. Faint tidal features are not strongly evident. The galaxy presents with a relatively smooth overall appearance but minor disturbances are not ruled out given the slight distortions in the disk shape.
