The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated structure with a noticeable bulge region. The overall color gradient appears to shift from a more yellow-red hue in the central bulge to a slightly bluer tint extending outward along the major axis. The observed morphology suggests a classification leaning towards a late-type spiral, possibly edge-on. There is no evidence of significant tidal distortions or a recent major merger event visible in this image, but there may be some minor disturbances. The galaxy appears to be relatively smooth in overall texture, possibly reflecting a generally older stellar population. While faint, it appears to have some low levels of ongoing star formation. The galaxy exhibits an overall size that, when considered at its estimated distance, suggests that it is a large, mature galaxy with considerable mass.
