HD 185269 is a stellar triple system[4] approximately 170 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.
It is easily visible to binoculars, but not the naked eye.
The primary star is a third more massive[2] and four times more luminous than the Sun.
[4] The Jupiter-mass hot Jupiter was independently discovered orbiting the primary star by two different teams using doppler spectroscopy.
One group led by Claire Moutou used the ELODIE spectrograph at the Haute-Provence Observatory in France while John Asher Johnson and collaborators used the Coudé Auxiliary and C. Donald Shane telescopes at Lick Observatory in California.
