45 Ophiuchi is a single[10] star in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus, along the southern border with Scorpius. It has the Bayer designation d Ophiuchi, while 45 Ophiuchi is the Flamsteed designation. In the past it had the designation Theta Telescopii.[11] This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.28.[2] It is located approximately 111.6 light years away from the Sun based on parallax.[1] The star is drifting further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +38 km/s.[5]
