Delta2 Gruis

Delta2 Gruis, Latinized from δ2 Gruis, is a solitary,[7] red-hued star in the southern constellation of Grus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.11. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.88 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] the star is located around 330 light years from the Sun. It is moving further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +3 km/s.[4]
