HD 64307, also known as HR 3075, is a solitary, ^[14] orange hued star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.35, ^[2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, The object is estimated to be 690 light years ^[1] distant. It appears to be receding from the Sun, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 34  km/s . ^[6]

HD 64307 is an evolved star with a stellar classification of K3 III. ^[4] Gaia DR3 stellar evolution models place it on the red giant branch. ^[3] It has a mass comparable to the Sun ^[8] but due to its evolved state, it has an enlarged radius of 49.9  R_☉. It shines with a bolometric luminosity of 892  L_☉ from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,264 K. ^[11] HD 64307 has an iron abundance 80% that of the Sun, and is also lithium enriched. ^[12] Like most giant stars, the object spins slowly, having a projected rotational velocity lower than 2 km/s. ^[13]
