The galaxy appears to be a relatively small, edge-on spiral galaxy. It is elongated in shape, with a noticeable central bulge. The bulge appears smooth and featureless. Some faint dust lanes may be present along the galactic plane, but they are not very prominent in the image. There is no significant evidence of any recent or ongoing major mergers or tidal disturbances affecting the main structure of the galaxy, although there may be a minor asymmetry in the disk. The galaxy has a distinct reddish color overall, possibly indicating an older stellar population and ongoing star formation.
