21 Camelopardalis is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis, located around 650 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is a challenge to view with the naked eye even under excellent viewing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.9.[2] This is one of the fainter stars with a Flamsteed designation, one of only 220 below the magnitude cutoff for the Bright Star Catalogue.[9] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −15.5 km/s.[5]
The spectral type for 21 Camelopardalis is given only as A5 with no published luminosity class. It is treated as a normal main sequence star,[10] although it is calculated to be larger and more luminous than a typical A5 main sequence star.[7][11] Based upon changes to its proper motion over time, this is a probable astrometric binary.[12]
