With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.34,[2] this star is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye except possibly under excellent seeing conditions.

The ChView simulation[14] shows that its closest neighbour is the EZ Aquarii triple star system at about 4.1 ly away.

This star has the fourth highest known proper motion,[15] (which was first noticed by Benjamin Gould in 1881[16]) moving a total of 6.9 arcseconds per year.

[17] If the radial velocity (Vr) equals +9.7 km/s then about 2,700 years ago Lacaille 9352 was at its minimal distance of approximately 10.63 ly (3.26 pc) from the Sun.

[18] The spectrum of Lacaille 9352 places it at a stellar classification of M0.5V,[3] indicating it is a type of main sequence star known as a red dwarf.
