The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, likely seen at a high inclination from our vantage point. The morphology suggests it may be an early-type spiral, potentially an Sa or Sb classification, given the relatively smooth appearance and lack of clearly defined spiral arms. There is a notable central bulge, which appears brighter and more concentrated than the disk component. The disk exhibits some structure, although details are somewhat blurred; a hint of spiral structure and dust lanes can be inferred. The galaxy is elongated, with an approximate major axis to minor axis ratio suggesting a cigar shape. There is evidence of some ongoing, albeit limited, star formation, as indicated by the subtle blueish tint observed in regions within the disk. No significant signs of tidal disturbances or recent merger activity are readily apparent, with minimal disturbances observed in the surrounding galactic environment. The color profile of the galaxy exhibits a gradient, with the central bulge showing a yellowish hue, indicative of older stellar populations, and the disk showing a bluer tint in certain areas, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars. The galaxy does not appear particularly isolated, but no immediate companion galaxies are readily visible in this image.
