NGC 561 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. [3] Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 4,395 ± 20 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 64.8 ± 4.6 Mpc (~211 million ly). [4] NGC 561 was discovered by Prussian astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest in 1862. [5]
2 Andromedae, abbreviated 2 And, is a binary star [4] system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 2 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation . It is a faint star system but visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.09. [ 3 ]
NGC 169 is an unbarred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on September 18, 1857, by R. J. Mitchell. [2] NGC 169 has a smaller companion named NGC 169A, also designated IC1559. The two are currently interacting, and the pair is included in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. [3]

NGC 700 is a lenticular galaxy located 200 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Andromeda. NGC 700 was discovered by astronomer Bindon Stoney on October 28, 1850. [3] It is also a member of Abell 262. [4] [5] The galaxy PGC 6924 is often misidentified as NGC 700. [3]
NGC 7686 is a moderately-sized open cluster in the constellation Andromeda, containing about 80 stars. [2] At magnitude 5.6, it is an easy target for binoculars and small telescopes. [3] According to Johnson et al. (1961), the "color-magnitude diagram shows merely a uniform scatter with no significant tendency to show a cluster main sequence ...
NGC 828 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Andromeda. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 5200 ± 17 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 250.2 ± 17.5 Mly (76.70 ± 5.37 Mpc). [1] Additionally, three non-redshift measurements give a distance of 223.52 ± 7.06 Mly (68.533 ± 2.165 Mpc). [2]
