This galaxy exhibits an elongated, cigar-like morphology. The light distribution appears smooth, with no obvious spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes visible in this image. There is a color gradient observed, with a slightly reddish hue towards the central region of the galaxy, potentially indicating an older stellar population in the core. The outer regions display a bluer tint, which could be due to ongoing, albeit subdued, star formation activity. There is no evidence of any significant tidal features or interactions with other galaxies, although I note a slight irregularity on the left of the galactic disc, suggesting there may have been some sort of minor disturbance. The overall smoothness suggests a significant fraction of its light originates from a spheroid component. The moderate redshift suggests that we are observing this galaxy at a considerable distance.
