Description:
In Andromeda, at ~3° NW of Lambda And. Located without too many difficulties and well located on the zenith. The location of the stars of NGC 7686 resembles of a tiny little dipper or a small ladle. Within the cluster, 2 stars are dissociated (SAO 53088 and 53077) visual magnitude 6,2 and 7,7 respectively. I also distinguish 2 other stars of lower brightness and a very weak luminosity in background. Very compact cluster. The field of binoculars contains the variable star Z And, but this one is not visible.
