HD 177693 (HR 7233; 48 G. Telescopii) is a solitary orange-hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.45,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 376 light-years,[1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −20.9 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 177693's brightness is diminished by 0.24 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[13] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.03.[7]

HD 177693 has a stellar classification of K1 III,[3] indicating that it is an evolved orange giant. David Stanley Evans gave a less evolved class of K1 IV,[4] instead indicating that it is a slightly evolved subgiant. It has 1.25 times the mass of the Sun[8] but it has expanded to 10.6 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It radiates 50.2 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,750 K.[10] HD 177693 is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.10[8] and it spins with a projected rotational velocity lower than 1.3 km/s.[11]
