HO Telescopii is an eclipsing binary star system located in the southern constellation of Telescopium. The maximum apparent visual magnitude of 8.22[3] is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of approximately 910 light years based on parallax.[2] The combined stellar classification of the system is A7III(m),[4] matching an evolved A-type star[10] that is possibly metallic-lined. The system is around 1.1[1] billion years old and consists of two stars of similar mass and size.[1]

The variability of this system was discovered by W. Strohmeier, R. Knigge, and H. Ott in 1965.[11][12] It is a detached binary system with both components filling three-fourths of their respective Roche lobes.[1] Their orbital period is 1.613097[6] days with a circularized orbit,[7] and the orbital plane is inclined by 83° to the line of sight from the Earth; close to edge-on.[8] As a consequence, they form an Algol-like eclipsing binary with a magnitude decrease of 0.51 during the primary eclipse and 0.45 during the secondary eclipse.[3]
