This galaxy presents as a relatively faint, elongated structure, indicative of an edge-on disk galaxy. The central bulge appears prominent and has a smooth, rounded appearance. There is little indication of spiral arm structure or distinct dust lanes, suggesting a well-mixed disk. The overall color gradient shifts from a yellowish-white core to a slightly bluer outer disk. This bluer color suggests that the galaxy is still forming stars, though at a relatively low rate. There is no apparent major disturbance due to any recent merging activity. The morphology suggests a relatively undisturbed disk galaxy, viewed edge-on, with ongoing but not vigorous star formation.
