This galaxy presents as a relatively faint, elongated object. It appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge and contributing to the observed redder color. The central bulge is present and appears somewhat rounded. The disk component is apparent, with a diffuse bluish hue suggesting the presence of ongoing star formation. There is an indication of some minor disturbance in the surrounding area, although the galaxy is not currently undergoing a major merger event. The overall morphology suggests a galaxy with a moderate star formation rate and a stellar mass within a typical range for spiral galaxies of its type.
