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 ...
The star is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.68. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 29.12 [ 1 ] mas as seen from Earth, it is located 112 light years away. 5 Andromedae is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −2.6 km/s. [ 2 ]
