How much of the galaxy can you pick up visually Ron??
Lee this galaxy is quite large and has a low surface brightness mainly in the spiral arms,but on nights of good seeing they can be seen as a faint halo.
The nucleus is quite is quite pronounced but seems to be detached in poor seeing.
The foreground star patterns are what makes this galaxy easy to spot Supernova in, as they stand out quite well.
The Rev Robert Evens discovered two bright supernova in this galaxy.
Cheers
