17 Crateris is a wide binary star[8] system in the equatorial constellation of Hydra, located 90.5 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.93.[3] The system is traversing the celestial sphere with a relative proper motion of 24.9 mas/y,[9] and is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +5.8 km/s.[4]

The dual nature of this system was discovered by W. Herschel in 1783, when they showed an angular separation of 9.8. As of 2015, the two components of this system had a separation of 9.60 along a position angle of 210°.[10] This is equivalent to a projected separation of 241.3 astronomical unit|AU; wide enough that, thus far, their orbital track appears linear.[9] They are nearly identical F-type main-sequence stars with a stellar classification of F8V.[2] The primary is slightly brighter at magnitude 5.64, while the secondary is magnitude 5.76.[2]
