    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_206

    NGC 206 is the richest and most conspicuous star cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy, and is one of the largest and brightest star-forming regions in the Local Group. [2] It contains more than 300 stars brighter than M b =−3.6. [3] It was originally identified by Edwin Hubble as a star cluster but today, due to its size, it is classified as an OB ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7686

    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 Andromeda Galaxy is known to harbor a dense and compact star cluster at its very center, similar to our own galaxy. A large telescope creates a visual impression of a star embedded in the more diffuse surrounding bulge. In 1991, the Hubble Space Telescope was used to image the Andromeda Galaxy's inner nucleus.

    Andromeda's most celebrated open cluster is NGC 752 (Caldwell 28) at an overall magnitude of 5.7. [24] It is a loosely scattered cluster in the Milky Way that measures 49 arcminutes across and features approximately twelve bright stars, although more than 60 stars of approximately 9th magnitude become visible at low magnifications in a telescope.

    It is located 130,000 light-years (40 kpc) [3] from the Andromeda Galaxy's galactic core, and is the brightest [3] (by absolute magnitude) globular cluster in the Local Group, with an absolute visual magnitude of −10.94 and the luminosity of 2 million Suns. [4] It has an apparent magnitude of 13.81 in V band.
