This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, though its disk is oriented nearly edge-on from our point of view. There is a distinct central bulge which is somewhat bright. The disk appears relatively smooth, lacking distinct spiral arm features, and seems to be elongated in shape. There may be some possible minor disturbances. There is a subtle colour variation across the galaxy, with bluer hues being visible in the outer regions of the disk, and redder hues closer to the bulge. The galaxy exhibits some active star formation. The galaxy's overall colour is skewed towards the redder end of the spectrum.
