HD 194688, also designated as HR 7816, is a solitary star located in the northern constellation Delphinus, the dolphin. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.22,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively far away at a distance of 886 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] but it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −17.12 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 196488's brightness is diminished due to an interstellar extinction of 0.17 magnitudes[11] and it has an absolute visual magnitude of −1.19.[6]

HD 194688 has a simple stellar classification of K0,[3] indicating that it is an early K-type star. It has 1.57 times the mass of the Sun[7] and an enlarged radius 21.58 times that of the Sun.[8] It radiates 258 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,995 K,[9] giving it an orangish-yellow hue when viewed in the night sky. The large radius and high luminosity suggests that HD 194688 may be an evolved giant star. It is slightly metal-deficient with an iron abundance 74.1% that of the Sun's.[7]
