HD 94717, also known as HR 4268, is a solitary orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.34,[3] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 1,750 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[2] but it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 3.4 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 94717's brightness is diminished by 0.62 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[13]

HD 94717 has a stellar classification of K2 II/III,[4] indicating that it is an evolved red giant with the blended luminosity class of a giant star and a bright giant. It is estimated to be 63 million years old,[8] enough time for it to cool and expand to 78 times the Sun's radius.[9] It has 6.3 times the mass of the Sun[8] and radiates 1,847 times the luminosity of the Sun[2] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,446 K.[10] HD 94717 has a solar metallicity[2] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.4 km/s.[11]
