The object appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, seen nearly edge-on. A bulge is clearly visible in the center, exhibiting a high degree of smoothness. A faint disk is present, exhibiting a more bluish hue towards the edges, indicating younger stellar populations. There are no prominent dust lanes or spiral arms easily discernible, suggesting that this galaxy is largely composed of older stars. Overall, the galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like shape.
