HD 200779 (HIP 104092; Gliese 818; LHS 3624) is a solitary star located in the equatorial constellation Equuleus, the foal. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.27, [2] making it readily visible in binoculars but not to the naked eye. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 49 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, [1] which makes it the nearest star in Equuleus. [13] It is classified as a high proper motion star, [12] with a total proper motion of 569  mas /yr. [1]

At its current distance, HD 200779's brightness is diminished by only six hundredths of a magnitude due to interstellar dust [14] and it has an absolute magnitude of +7.38. [6] HD 200779 is expected to come within 7.76 parsecs (25.3 ly) of the Solar System in roughly 160,000 years. [15]

HD 200779 is an ordinary K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K6 V. [3] It has 68% the mass of the Sun [7] and 69% of its radius. [8] However, it only radiates 18% the luminosity of the Sun [9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,406  K , [10] giving it an orange hue. It has an iron abundance slightly above solar level at [Fe/H] = +0.05 [7] and it is estimated to be 6.33 billion years old. [11] HD 200779 spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 5.1  km/s . [5] The star is generally considered to be chromospherically active. [3]

HD 200779 has two optical companions: a distant 11th magnitude star located 64.6" away and a 9th magnitude star located 169.4" away. [16]
