Turner (1983) has found that the object considered in the present investigation is an 11th-magnitude emission-line B supergiant lying at the extremely large distance of approximately 18 kpc, somewhat below the galactic plane in a little-reddened portion of Cygnus. The star can be categorized as a member of the rare class of Population I objects found at large distances from the sun and lying more than 1 kpc away from the principal plane of the Galaxy. A summary is provided both of existing and new observational data which have been obtained for the star, giving attention to its unusual characteristics. The location of the object makes it suitable for use in an examination of the galactic rotation law at large distances from the galactic center.
