The primary star is a yellow-white G-type main-sequence star, while the secondary star is a fainter K-type star. The system is notable for its relatively close proximity to our solar system and its brightness, making it an interesting target for amateur astronomers. Beta Lacertae has an apparent magnitude of about 4.5, which allows it to be seen with the naked eye under good conditions.
