This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated system. It displays a notable lack of spiral arm structure. The central bulge is subtly brighter and appears yellowish, indicating a population of older stars. Moving outward, the galaxy transitions to a bluish hue, suggesting the presence of a younger stellar population. The overall shape indicates that it is likely an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. There is no visual evidence of major mergers or tidal disturbances. The smooth light profile supports the impression that the galaxy is largely undisturbed.
