Theta Sagittae

Theta Sagittae (θ Sagittae) is a double star[10] in the northern constellation of Sagitta. With an apparent visual magnitude of +6.48,[2] it is near the limit of stars that can be seen with the naked eye. According to the Bortle scale the star is visible in dark suburban/rural skies. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 22.15 mas as seen from Earth,[11] it is located roughly 147 light years from the Sun.
