The galaxy appears to be an edge-on spiral or lenticular galaxy. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the central bulge and inner disk. The bulge itself appears relatively small and centrally concentrated. The disk is quite extended, with a length-to-width ratio indicating a highly inclined orientation relative to the observer. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars, with the dominant light emission being in the redder part of the spectrum. There's little evidence of active star formation regions or HII regions visible in this image. There are no signs of any major mergers or tidal disturbances, though there might be a faint hint of a minor interaction or a lopsided structure.
