HD 174387 (HR 7092) is a solitary star in the southern constellation Telescopium. With an apparent magnitude of 5.49, it is faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under dark skies. Parallax measurements put the object at a distance of 810 light years and it is currently approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −28.1 km/s.
HD 174387 has a stellar classification of M0 III, indicating that it is an ageing red giant. Due to its evolved state, the star has expanded to a diameter of 82.63 R☉. At present it has 114% the mass of the Sun and shines 902 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,929 K, giving a red hue when viewed. HD 174387's metallicity is estimated to be 91% that of the Sun. The star is suspected to be variable, ranging from magnitudes 5.59 to 5.63 in the Hipparcos passband.
