NGC 925 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum.
It has an apparent size of 10.5'x5.9', which at its distance of 28 million light years corresponds to a real diameter of 86,000 light years.
This galaxy has some peculiarities compared to other barred spirals: the central bar has a blue instead of yellow coloration and does not show traces of a bright and compact nucleus.
Furthermore, one of the two spiral arms is more developed than the other and shows innumerable HII regions.
All this suggests a possible interaction that occurred in the past with another galaxy, bringing NGC 925 closer to irregular galaxies than to barred ones.
NGC 925 is part of a group of galaxies called the “NGC 1023 Group” which includes NGC 1023 in Perseus and also NGC 891 in Andromeda.

On the upper right side of the image it is visible a spot of light a little brighter than the sky: it is not an artifact as I have seen also in other images here in Astrobin, but I was not able to identify it.
Could someone help me?

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
