The object is a spiral galaxy, seen almost perfectly edge-on. It appears to have a prominent, centrally located bulge, that fades in luminosity from the center outwards. This central region appears more yellowish in color. The galactic disk is thin, narrow, and extended with a light blue-ish tint, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars and/or ongoing star formation. There is a very slight warping of the galactic disk visible on the upper side of the galaxy. There is no dust clearly seen in the image but it might be obscuring the view. No obvious sign of tidal disturbances or recent merger activity is visible.
