This galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated disk, oriented nearly edge-on with respect to our line of sight. There appears to be a central bulge region characterized by a yellowish-orange hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Extending outwards from the bulge is a fainter, bluish disk. This disk exhibits a degree of patchy structure suggesting the presence of dust lanes and possibly active star formation regions. Given the relatively smooth appearance of the disk there are no signs of major mergers, though there may be some slight morphological disturbances.
