HD 202259 is a suspected variable star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. With an apparent magnitude of 6.39,[2] according to the Bortle scale it is faintly visible to the naked eye from dark rural skies. It has a stellar classification of M1 III,[3] and is a red giant located along the asymptotic giant branch of the HR diagram.[5] Located about 900 light years away,[1] its radial velocity of −123.5 km/s[3] indicates this is a high-velocity star.[6]
