HD 170069 (HR 6922) is a solitary[14] star in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.68,[2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of 590 light years[1] but is approaching closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −18 km/s.[5] HD 170069 was designated as Tau Telescopii (τ Telescopii) before Benjamin Apthorp Gould dropped the title.[15]
HD 170069 has a stellar classification of K2 III,[3] indicating that it is a red giant. It has 4.08 times the mass of the Sun[7] but has expanded to 23.69 times its girth.[8] It radiates at 217 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,490 K,[8] giving an orange hue. Due to its evolved state, it has a projected rotational velocity that is less than 1 km/s.[11]
