HD 202628 is a single star in the southern constellation of Microscopium. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +6.7, which makes it too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of 77.6 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +12.1 km/s. The absolute magnitude of this star is 4.86.
The stellar classification of HD 202628 is G1.5V, matching a yellow-hued G-type main-sequence star similar to the Sun. The chromospheric activity level and amount of X-ray emission is consistent with a star that is younger than the Sun. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2.6 km/s. The star has 107% of the mass of the Sun and 95% of the Sun's radius. The metallicity, or abundance of heavier elements, appears to be about the same as in the Sun. It is radiating 95% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,843 K.
