The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure, viewed nearly edge-on. The central bulge exhibits a concentrated luminosity, appearing smooth and somewhat rounded. The overall color of the galaxy is distinctly reddish, with a central region exhibiting yellower hues. This color gradient suggests a population of older stars concentrated in the bulge, while the disk may contain a mix of younger and older stellar populations. The disk itself appears relatively featureless, lacking any distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes visible in this image, suggesting a smooth distribution of stars and interstellar material within the disk plane. No significant tidal disturbances or signs of ongoing mergers are readily apparent, indicating a relatively quiescent morphological state.
