The galaxy presents as a cigar-shaped, edge-on spiral, or possibly an elliptical galaxy exhibiting elongation. The central bulge appears bright and concentrated, showing a yellowish-white hue. This may indicate an older stellar population within the galactic nucleus. A faint, diffuse disk extends outwards from the bulge, with a bluer tint suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and potential ongoing star formation. There are no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances, but subtle asymmetries in the disk's light distribution could indicate minor interactions or past merger events. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively smooth and undisturbed.
