The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. The primary color gradient transitions from a yellowish central bulge region outward to a fainter, redder periphery, suggestive of an aging stellar population in the outer regions. The image indicates a relatively smooth structure with minimal evidence of spiral arms. A faint blue region appears off-center within the galaxy's disk, potentially indicative of localized, ongoing star formation. Overall, the galaxy exhibits characteristics consistent with a late-type spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on and undergoing moderate star formation.
