 | | Kappa Andromedae is a wide and rather faint binary: 4, 11; 194º, 46.8". | | | Andromedae form a noted binary with colour contrast, gold and blue. | | | There are a number of fine binaries and several variables, and some very nice deep sky objects, including perhaps the most famous spiral galaxy of all. |
