107 Aquarii ( i2 Aquarii) is the Flamsteed designation for a double star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. The pair have an angular separation of 6.787 arcseconds.[3] They have a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.305,[2] with individual magnitudes of 5.72 and 6.72.[3] The annual parallax shift is 13.66 milliarcseconds with an 8% margin of error.[1] This indicates the system is at a distance of around 240 light-years (74 parsecs) from Earth.
