HD 180450 is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Lyra, positioned about half a degree to the NNW of the globular cluster M56.[9] At an apparent visual magnitude of 5.88,[1] it is dimly visible to the naked eye under good viewing conditions. This star is located at a distance of approximately 950 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −64.4 km/s.[4]

This is an aging red giant star with a stellar classification of M1IIIab.[1] It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch,[10] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core and evolved off the main sequence. The star has expanded to ~68 times the radius of the Sun and is radiating a thousand times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,947 K.[4]
