This galaxy presents as an edge-on disk galaxy. It appears to be relatively smooth in structure with a somewhat obscured or muted bulge region. Dust lanes are visible along the galactic plane, slightly obscuring the central light. The galaxy displays a gradient in color, with a slightly bluer tint towards the outer edges of the disk. The shape is elongated and narrow, consistent with an edge-on orientation. There is no significant evidence of major mergers or tidal disturbances in this image, although there are faint artifacts nearby that indicate a minor disturbance.
