NGC 7331 - Spiral Galaxy with SN 2014C

NGC 7331 / Caldwell 30 with SN 2014C (Pegasus) SN 2014C (Type Ib) was discovered 2014/01/05.090 by Lick Observatory Supernova Search (USA). (Rochester Supernova site | Discovery Image ) The image below (2014/01/11.87) was taken 6.8 days after discovery when  the supernova was at estimated magnitude +14.7. The supernova is indicated by the white markers.

Dwingeloo 1 (PGC 100170) - Spiral Galaxy,

PGC 100170 / Dwingeloo 1 (Cassiopeia)  Nearby Galaxy distance 9.1 mly (part of Maffei Group) Central core of the galaxy is just detectable at centre of image (two large spiral arms are too faint to be seen) Dwingeloo 1 was only recently discovered in 1994
