HD 187123 is an 8th magnitude G-type main sequence star located approximately 156 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus. Like our Sun, it is a yellow dwarf (spectral type G5V). Being at a distance of about 160 light-years it is not visible to the unaided eye. However, it should be easy target with binoculars or small telescope.

Planetary system [edit]
In 1998 the California and Carnegie Planet Search team, after following a suggestion by Kevin Apps, a Briton who at the time was an undergraduate student[1] found a possible planet orbiting the star.[2] There were also indications of another, more distant body orbiting the star and this claim was published in 2006.[3] This planet was confirmed in 2009.[4]
