HD 178845, also known as HR 7271 or rarely 49 G. Telescopii, is a binary star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements place the system 379 light years away[3][1] and both components are approaching the Solar System with heliocentric radial velocities of −26 km/s and −24 km/s respectively.[6][8] At its current distance, HD 178845A's brightness is diminished by 0.22 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[12]

The primary has an apparent magnitude of 6.13,[2] placing it near the naked eye viewing limit and the companion has an apparent magnitude of 10.9,[4] making it readily visible in medium-sized telescopes. The system was first observed by astronomer Willem Hendrik van den Bos in 1930.[13] As of 1991, HD 178845B is located 7.2" away along a position angle of 320°.[14]

The primary is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of G8 III.[5] It has 2.35 times the mass of the Sun[9] but at the age of 455 million years,[1] it has expanded to 9.1 times its radius.[9] It radiates 47 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,001 K,[9] giving it a yellow hue. It has a solar metallicity ([Fe/H] = +0.02[9]) and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.6 km/s.[10]
