This galaxy appears to be an edge-on spiral with a significant bulge. The central region exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population dominating the core. A faint disk extends from the bulge, with a bluer tint indicating the presence of younger stars and possibly ongoing star formation. The galaxy displays a somewhat elongated shape, which is consistent with its classification as a cigar-shaped galaxy. There might be minor tidal disturbances or faint streams of material associated with the galaxy, potentially indicating a past or ongoing interaction or merger event. The galaxy shows a relatively smooth overall structure.
