The galaxy presents a flattened, elongated morphology, appearing approximately cigar-shaped in this orientation. A central bulge is discernible, exhibiting a yellowish or slightly reddish hue, indicative of an older stellar population and potentially a lower rate of ongoing star formation in this region. The surrounding disk is characterized by a bluer color, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. The disk appears relatively smooth with no major disturbances or signs of interaction with other galaxies. There is a clear color gradient from the core of the bulge to the outer edges of the disk. The dust lanes are not easily resolved, however, there is some indication of patchy dust absorption within the disk region. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively undisturbed, edge-on spiral or lenticular galaxy.
