HD 204904 (HR 8234; 59 G. Octantis) is a spectroscopic binary located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.17,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively close at distance of 212 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −5.2 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 204904's brightness is diminished by 0.19 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[15] and it has an absolute magnitude of +2.13.[7]

HD 204904 has a stellar classification of either F6 IV or F4 IV,[4] indicating that it is a slightly evolved F-type subgiant. It has 1.53 times the mass of the Sun[8] and a slightly enlarged radius 2.87 times that of the Sun's.[9] It radiates 12.1 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,443 K,[11] giving it the typical yellowish-white hue of an F-type star. HD 204904 is metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.20 or 63.1% of the Sun's iron abundance.[12] It is estimated to be 2.56 billion years old[8] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 12 km/s.[13]

In 2014, J. R. De Medeiros and colleagues detected radial velocity variations from the star, indicating that it was a spectroscopic binary.[13] However, the system does not have a defined orbit.[16]
