HD 196761 is a main-sequence dwarf star in the constellation Capricornus and is located about 47 light years from the Solar System. It has a stellar classification of G8V and is about 88% of the radius of the Sun.[8] Compared to the Sun, this star has about half the proportion of elements other than hydrogen and helium.[7][9]
The space velocity components of this star are U = −59, V = 20 and W = 4 km/s. It is following an orbit through the Milky Way that has an eccentricity of 0.18, bringing it as close as 24.27 kly (7.44 kpc) and as distant as 34.6 kly (10.6 kpc) from the Galactic Center. The inclination of this orbit will carry HD 196761 no more than 0.65 kly (0.20 kpc) from the plane of the galactic disk.[7]
