Its spectrum reads F8V — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for HD 203621 in the constellation Mic. At apparent magnitude 12.29, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, HD 203621 is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
HD 203621 scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Yellow-white F-type star and Main-sequence star — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
