HD 30432, also known as HR 1526, is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern constellation of Caelum, the chisel. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.04,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the object is estimated to be 310 light years distant.[1] It appears to be approaching the Solar System, having a fairly constrained radial velocity of −6 km/s.[6] Eggen (1993) lists it as a member of the old disk population.[11]
