Del-2
Its story
Delta-2 Apodis is an orange K3 giant in the southern Bird of Paradise, about 613 light-years away. It forms a wide visual pair with Delta-1 Apodis, a closer red M5 giant, separated by some 103 arcseconds in the sky. To the naked eye both appear as a single warm double in a rarely visited constellation: the red-orange contrast comes out in modest binoculars.
