HD 895 is a multiple star system in the constellation Andromeda.Its apparent magnitude is 6.277, [2] so it can be seen by the naked eye under very favourable conditions. Based on parallax measured by Hipparcos, the system is located around 54 parsecs (180 ly) away, [4] and it is made of two different spectroscopic binary pairs.
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]
NGC 668 is a spiral galaxy located 200 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on December 4, 1880 [3] and is a member of Abell 262. [4] [5] [6] [7]
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 ...
HD 221246 or NGC 7686 1 is a star in open cluster NGC 7686, and it belongs to the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.17, [ 2 ] it can be viewed by the naked eye only under very favourable conditions.
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 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 620 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda about 123 million light-years [3] from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the French astronomer Édouard Stephan in 1871. [ 5 ] [ 6 ]
