HD 186756, also known as HR 7521 or rarely 68 G. Telescopii, is a solitary orange hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.25,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 743 light years;[1] it is currently approaching with a heliocentric radial velocity of −21.2 km/s.[4] At its current distance, HD 186756's brightness is diminished by 0.34 magnitudes due to extinction from interstellar dust[13] and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.96.[5]

This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III. It has 123% the mass of the Sun[6] but it has expanded to 21.01 times the radius of the Sun.[7] The object radiates 177 times the luminosity of the Sun[8] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,747 K.[9] HD 186756 is slightly metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.13 (74% solar) and it spins too slowly for its projected rotational velocity to be measured accurately.[10]
