HR 1124 is an uncommon star. It lies about 180.8 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cam, shines at apparent magnitude 5.79 and has spectral type F0IV.
Its spectrum reads F0IV — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for HR 1124 in the constellation Cam. At apparent magnitude 5.79, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 1124 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.
HR 1124 scores 23 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 11 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Yellow-white F-type star and Subgiant (leaving the main sequence) — 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.
