This galaxy presents as an edge-on disk galaxy with an apparent magnitude suggesting it is relatively bright. The central bulge is prominent and appears smooth and concentrated. The color gradient suggests an older stellar population dominating the bulge, appearing more yellow-red. The disk is clearly visible and elongated, extending outwards from the bulge. The dust lane is subtle but there is some indication of its presence. The high fraction of edge on-ness suggests we are viewing the disk almost directly from the side. There is no obvious signs of major mergers, but there are potential signs of disturbance suggesting a minor merger could have taken place.
