66 Andromedae is a binary star[3] in the constellation Andromeda. The designation is from the star catalogue of English astronomer John Flamsteed, first published in 1712. It has a combined apparent magnitude of 6.16,[2] which is just below the nominal brightness limit of stars that are visible to the naked eye under good seeing conditions. An annual parallax shift of 17.69 mas provides a distance estimate of around 184 light years. This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary system with an orbital period of 11 days and an eccentricity of 0.19.[3] The two components are similar stars with a combined stellar classification of F4 V,[3] matching that of an F-type main sequence star.
