NGC 7331

NGC 7331 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus.

It was discovered by William Herschel on 6 September 1784. NGC 7331 is the brightest galaxy in the field of a visual grouping known as the NGC 7331 Group of galaxies. In fact, the other members of the group, NGC 7335, NGC 7336, NGC 7337 and NGC 7340, lie far in the background at distances of approximately 300–350 million light years

Supernova 2025rbs in NGC 7331 was discovered by GOTO on 14 July 2025. By the end of August 2025 the supernova was still around magnitude 14.4

This object drew significant interest in 2025 due to the noted Supernova.

In late July, using the Seestar S50, I captured 33 20 sec frames to produce the following:

Later in August, ending in October, I captured a total of 2050 frames.

In late September:

In mid-October:

With a final image: (You can still see the Supernova)

All frames were processed using Siril & Seti Astro Cosmic Clarity & Graxpert.

Andromeda Galaxy (M 31)

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is a spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally  cataloged as Messier 31, M31, and NGC 224. Andromeda has a diameter of about 152,000 light-years and is approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth.

Andromeda image also contain M 32, M 110, and NGC 206

Messier 32 (also known as M32 and NGC 221) is a dwarf galaxy about 2,490,000 light-years Earth, appearing in the constellation Andromeda. M32 is a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) and was discovered by Guillaume Le Gentil in 1749.

Messier 110, or M110, also known as NGC 205, is a dwarf elliptical galaxy that is a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy.

NGC 206 is a bright star cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy. It was discovered by German-born English astronomer William Herschel in 1786

Using the Seestar S30, I started imaging on clear nights in late August 2025. By mid-October I had taken about 7500 25 second frames which were stacked and processed using Siril & Seti Astro Cosmic Clarity & Graxpert.

I am still continuing to collect frames of Andromeda.

Cygnus Loop (SH2-103)

The Cygnus Loop (SH2-103) is a large supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus, an emission nebula measuring nearly 3° across. Also known as the Veil Nebula, it consists of several Parts.

The Western Veil consisting of NGC 6960 the "Witch's Broom", near the foreground star 52 Cygni;

The Eastern Veil consisting of  NGC 6992, NGC 6995 and IC 1340;

Pickering's Triangle is brightest at the north central edge of the loop and is joined in the northern central area by NGC 6974 and NGC 6979

Cygnus Loop is 120 ly in diameter and has an age of around 20,000 years. Its distance from Earth is 2,670 ly.

Using the Seestar S30, I started imaging on clear nights in July 2025. Starting with NGC 6960 (2006 20 sec and 25 sec frames) and NGC 6992 (1150 20 sec and 25 sec frames). I then took a mosaic of the entire Cygnus Loop (2998 25 sec frames). Next I imaged the area of Pickering's Triangle and the area west of the IC 1340 (1540 25 sec frames). Finally I combined the 7694 images into a stack using  Siril & Seti Astro Cosmic Clarity & Graxpert.

The Cygnus Loop (SH2-103) showing its components:

The Final Result: (about 3.5 months of imaging)

This object will probably continue as a work in progress. There are more areas north of Pickering Triangle and south of NGC 6960 and southwest of IC 1340 that I still need data on.

October 2025 has 2 bright comets in the night sky. C2025 A6 (LEMMON) and C2025 R2 (SWAN)

C2025 R2 (SWAN)

C2025 R2 (SWAN) was discovered by Vladimir Bezugly through SWAN imagery on 11 September 2025. As of 23 October 2025, The comet's apparent magnitude is

+6.0. It can be found in the evening sky throughout October and is best spotted in the hours following sunset, before it sinks low on the south-southwest horizon. On Oct. 16, the comet will be positioned approximately 5 degrees to the upper left of the star Xi Serpentis in the eastern section of the constellation Serpens.

Image from How to see Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) shine in the October sky | Space

The Day I observed it was 25 Oct 2025.

 The sky on arrival to Island Lake Recreation Area

This is the direction the comet will be after the sun sets. Fairly cloudy start.

Using the Seestar S50 to image and track the comet for about 4 hours before it set, I was able to capture 434 20 second frames across 3 viewing sessions. I had the Seestar re-target twice to keep it centered in the frame.  I was NOT able to visually observe this comet.

From the scope, the comet looked like:

The tail was not visible due to it being directed away from Earth.

After processing in Siril & Seti Astro Cosmic Clarity (following the workflow from Naztronomy) here is my image of

C2025 R2 (SWAN).

Overall Wrestlemania Part 2 was a decent show. A few good matches and a few not so good. They did a good job with it with all the restrictions going on right now.

Disappointing ending with Morrison dropping with the titles after a dual headbutt. Good match, poor ending.

2 Stars - Morrison Retains

Match #6 - Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins - Good spots for both. The two on their own made for a much better match with no interruptions. Good action, with good offense and counters from both. I cared about this one more than I wanted to. DQ gets the first end. Owens asks for no DQ for a finish. Match restarts. Seth in control for the most part. Steps, chairs, ring bell.

The crap that comes out of the commentators… Ugh… I will say there is something missing without the crown, but I really do like being able to hear the wrestlers talking in the ring during the match. Braun finally gets that Universal Championship. Mostly because Goldberg is too expensive, but I am glad to finally see Braun with the title.

PreShow Match – The Viking Raiders vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder - This was an average match that didn't maintain my attention

1.5 Stars – The Viking Raiders win

Superplex/powerbomb. Baszler enters next and eliminates Logan and Riott and Natalya. Baszler waits for the next opponent. Morgan enters and goes after Baszler. Morgan passes out and is eliminated. Baszler waits for Asuka. Asuka enters last and puts up the best fight so far, but is shortly eliminated. Fast eliminations made for slow action.

4 Stars - Shayna Baszler wins

Overall WWE Elimination Chamber gets 2.5 Stars. A show with no major title matches. Neither the WWE or Universal titles were defended on this show. The PreShow and first couple matches were not at all interesting for me. The Smackdown Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match was a good match with an ok outcome. The Womens Elimination Chamber Match was also a good watch, but was slow and lacked action. The other matches were average at best.

WWE is back in Saudi Arabia. Show starts like a big PPV in a big arena.

Kickoff Show Match - The OC defeated The Viking Raiders. I didn't see this match.

Match #1 - Tuwaiq Trophy Match - Match starts with R-Truth vs Bobby Lashley. Truth takes lots of bumps, but gets the pin as a fluke. Next is R-Truth vs Andrade. Truth gets the pin again as a fluke. Next is R-Truth vs Erick Rowan. Rowan is dominant over Truth, but is eventually disqualified for hitting Truth with the ring steps. Next is R-Truth vs AJ Styles. AJ submits Truth with a Calf Crusher. Next is supposed to be AJ Styles vs Rey Mysterio, but the OC attacked him. The Undertaker then attacks the OC and makes his way to the ring for AJ Styles vs The Undertaker.

Overall Super ShowDown get 2.5 stars. The opening match being the most entertaining. The rest of the show was mediocre. Both championship matches were short.

https://www.wwe.com/shows/wwe-super-showdown

Show starts with Poppy and 2 songs... I liked the NXT EP she did and this was equally well done. Would have liked to see her sing a wrestler to the ring again, but good for WWE to NOT repeat something...

Match #1 - NXT North American Championship Keith Lee vs Dominik Dijakovic for the  NXT North American Championship - Best match of the night for me. Great back and forth action and overall a well produced match. Look WWE two people don’t have to hate each other to have a great title match. Respect shown afterwards.

Match #4 -  NXT Championship - Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair - Good match with good action and good spots. Charlotte Flair comes out after the match and puts a beat down on both competitors and declares her match for WrestleMania. Spot is well done and did not affect the match.

4 Stars - Rhea Ripley Retains

Match #5 -  NXT Tag Team Championship - Undisputed Era vs. The BroserWeights - Great match UE and BW produce great spots with lots of action

4.5 Stars -  BroserWeights win the  NXT Tag Team Championship

Match #6 - NXT Championship - Adam Cole vs. Tommaso Ciampa - Starts off as a great match. Great spots and action. Ends on typical disappointment with the rest of UE interfering... Too Predictable. Then we have a Johnny Gargano heel turn... Ugh... WWE, Why not make all your talent Heels? Johnny’s interference causes  Tommaso to lose.

3 Stars -  Adam Cole Retains - Would have been 5 Stars without the predictable interference.

Overall NXT Takeover Portland get 3.5 Stars - Good matches, though 2 had disappointing endings. WWE Ends too many matches with DQ or  interference.
