HD 128294 is a solitary, bluish-white hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.34,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 618 light-years.[1] At its current distance, HD 128294's brightness is heavily diminished by 0.43 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[10] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.07.[4]

HD 128294 has a stellar classification of B9 III,[3] indicating that it is an evolved blue giant. At the age of 286 million years,[7] the object has completed 71.9% of its main sequence lifetime according to Gaia DR3 models.[1] It has 2.66 times the mass of the Sun and a slightly enlarged radius 3.62 times that of the Sun's.[5] It radiates 145 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,336 K.[5] According to astrophysical parameters based on the Gaia passband, HD 128294 has an iron abundance 81.3% that of the Sun's ([Fe/H) = −0.09),[6] making it slightly metal deficient.
