The galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, viewed at a near edge-on inclination. There is a distinct central bulge that appears bright and concentrated. A fainter, more extended disk surrounds the bulge. The disk has an obvious color gradient going from red at the edges to a blue/green center. There is no obvious spiral structure in the disk. It has a smooth appearance, but some subtle disturbances may be present. Given the smoothness of the galaxy, it could be either lenticular or spiral in nature. No major ongoing merger is apparent, but there is a possibility of a minor interaction in the past. There is an artifact present at the core of the bulge which may be influencing the light there. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively isolated and undisturbed.
