The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, likely a spiral galaxy viewed at a significant inclination to our line of sight. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, suggesting the presence of a prominent bulge. This central region appears yellowish, indicative of an older stellar population. The outer regions show a fainter, bluish hue, possibly suggesting more recent star formation in the disk. There appears to be some asymmetry in the outer regions, maybe due to a minor interaction or disturbance, though there is no obvious visual sign of a major merger event. Based on the overall smoothness of the galaxy, and the lack of significant irregular features, it appears to be a relatively well-formed and potentially evolved system.
