Albert Marth discovered NGC 7025 = m 433 on 17 Sep 1863 and noted "vF, vS, R, stell." His position is accurate.

300/350mm - 13.1" (9/29/84): fairly faint, very small, almost round, small bright nucleus. Located close following a large, scattered group of bright mag 8-10 stars (dubbed the "Toadstool" by Sue French) and just 0.7' E of a mag 9.5 star!

400/500mm - 18" (10/8/05): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated SW-NE, 0.8'x0.6', sharply concentrated with a well-defined bright core and a faint halo. The core brightness somewhat to the center. Located 40" E of a mag 9.7 star, which is on the east edge of a bright, scattered group of stars ("Toadstool" or French 1).
