This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated object, likely a lenticular or edge-on spiral galaxy. The color is a bluish white towards the center with some slight reddening in the outer portions. There are only very faint indications of spiral arm structure. The galaxy lacks significant distinct features, such as prominent dust lanes or bright star-forming regions. The lack of sharp definition may indicate a lower star formation rate. It is mostly undisturbed, with no strong signs of any current or recent major merger activity.
