The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure, likely a spiral galaxy viewed at an oblique angle. The central bulge appears prominent and exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, bluish regions are visible extending outward from the bulge, potentially indicating the presence of younger stellar populations and ongoing star formation within the galactic disk. There is no clear evidence of a grand design spiral structure, and any spiral arms are subtle and not well-defined. The overall morphology suggests a galaxy that is not currently undergoing a major merger event, although there may be some minor tidal features or disturbances that are not readily apparent in this image. The estimated physical size based on the data is approximately 9.5 kpc in radius. The colours suggest that we are seeing the galaxy at a redshift around 0.17.
