Resolution is very good.

Short exposures are great!
Why? Because they show the inner high surface brightness regions of galaxies Very Well.

Your image shows a good suggestion of the bar structure and the two spiral arms in this galaxy, both of which are highly foreshortened, because the "Silver Coin" galaxy is like a coin seen nearly edge-on!
