75 Cygni is a binary star[6] system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, reddish-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.09.[2] The system is located at a distance of about 434 light years from the Sun, based on parallax, and is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −29 km/s.[1]

The pair had an angular separation of 2.7 as of 2008, with the companion having a visual magnitude of 10.7.[6] The brighter magnitude 5.18[6] primary is an aging red giant star with a stellar classification of M1IIIab.[3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to around 45[1] times the radius of the Sun. It is a suspected variable star of unknown type and amplitude.[4] The star is radiating 439[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,954 K.[1]

An optical companion, with a spectral type of K, is about an arcminute away and has an apparent magnitude of 10.14.[7]
