HD 193721 (HR 7785) is an astrometric binary[14] in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.77,[2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements place the system 760 light years[1] away from the Solar System and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity 8.6 km/s.[5]

HD 193721 has a stellar classification of G6/8 II[3] — intermediate between a G6 and 8 bright giant. At present it has 3.49 times the mass of the Sun,[7] but has expanded to 24.4 times its girth.[8] It shines with a luminosity of 300 L[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,953 K,[8] giving a yellow hue. HD 193721 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 71% that of the Sun[10] and spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity of 2.7 km/s.[11]

The system has a companion designated CPD −81°900. The object has a spectral classification of F8[15] and is located 25.5 along a position angle of 0° (as of 1998).[16] CPD −81°900 is a foreground object, having a higher parallax[17] and different proper motion.[16]
