HD 29678, also known as HR 1491, is a solitary star[14] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a yellowish-white hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.95.[2] The object is located relatively close at a distance of 155 light-years[1] and it is drifting closer with a somewhat constrained heliocentric radial velocity of approximately −6.0 km/s.[6] At is current distance, HD 29678's brightness is diminished by 0.13 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction and it has an absolute magnitude of +2.60.[7] Its observed kinematics suggest that it is a member of the Pleiades supercluster.[15]

HD 29678 has a stellar classification of A9/F0 IV,[3] indicating that it is a slightly evolved star that has the characteristics of an A9 and F0 subgiant. Adams et al. (1935) yields a class of A6 V,[4] indicating that it is instead a hotter A-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at is core. It has 1.54 times the mass of the Sun[8] and 1.73 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It radiates 7.54 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,502 K.[8] The above characteristics more closely match a main sequence star and Gaia DR3 models the object as such.[1] HD 29678 is metal-deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.26 or 55% of the Sun's[11] and it is estimated to be 146 million years old.[8] Like many hot stars it spins rapidly, having a projected rotational velocity of 120 km/s.[12]

HD 29678 has a 13th magnitude optical companion located 98.6" away along a position angle of 46°.[16] HD 29678 itself is an unrelated field star of the HIP 21974 cluster.[17]
