HD 10800, also known as HR 512 or Gliese 67.1, is a triple star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.87, allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. The system is relatively close at a distance of 88.1 light years but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity −1.1 km/s.

The system has a blended spectral classification of G1 V, indicating an ordinary G-type main-sequence star. The primary is a spectroscopic binary consisting of a G-type and K-type star circling around each other in 19 days. HD 10800B has a class of G2 V, the same spectral class as our own Sun. The AB pair take 1.7 years to orbit each other.
