NGC 272 is an open cluster (rather an L-shaped asterism) located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on August 2, 1864, by Heinrich d'Arrest. [2]
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 85 is an interacting spiral or lenticular galaxy estimated to be about 200 million light-years away in the constellation of Andromeda. It was discovered by Ralph Copeland in 1873 and its apparent magnitude is 15.7. [4] The galaxy appears to be interacting with the companion spiral IC 1546.
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]
NGC 317 is a pair of interacting galaxies, consisting of a lenticular galaxy NGC 317A (also designated as PGC 3442) and a spiral galaxy NGC 317B (also designated as PGC 3445), in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 1, 1885 by Lewis Swift. [2] Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 317B: SN 1999gl (type II, mag. 16.2), [3 ...
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.
Map showing the location of NGC 752. NGC 752 (also known as Caldwell 28) is an open cluster in the constellation Andromeda.The cluster was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783 and cataloged by her brother William Herschel in 1786, although an object that may have been NGC 752 was described by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654.
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 ...
