Although NGC 6684 is far too small to see with backyard telescopes or binoculars, it will soon be possible to see one galaxy very easily. Go outside after dark in late September and early October, according to EarthSky, and you can search for the Andromeda galaxy in the eastern sky. Also called M31, Andromeda is the closest major galaxy to the Milky Way and is another spiral galaxy. Found near the Andromeda and Cassiopeia constellations, it's visible to the naked eye in very dark skies (and in stargazing binoculars from almost anywhere) as a whitish nebulous cloud.
For the very best view of Andromeda, skywatchers are advised to wait another 4 billion years or so; that’s when astronomers estimate Andromeda will collide with the Milky Way, merging the two galaxies forevermore.
