The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated disk galaxy, observed edge-on. It exhibits a noticeable central bulge, characterized by a more concentrated, yellowish-orange hue. Moving outwards from the bulge, the disk appears fainter and bluer, indicating a younger stellar population. The overall shape is cigar-like, suggesting a significant inclination angle relative to our line of sight. There is no obvious spiral arm structure visible, potentially due to the edge-on orientation, obscuring a clear view of any spiral features. No prominent dust lanes or signs of recent major mergers are apparent. There may be minor tidal disturbances. The galaxy does not present a strong blue color, suggesting it may be a relatively massive galaxy undergoing minimal star formation.
