16Eta Lep is a F-type (Yellow-White) star. It carries the designation 16Eta Lep.
16Eta Lep lies approximately 48.5 light-years from Earth, placing it within the Sun's local stellar neighborhood. This relatively short cosmic distance means the light reaching us today departed the star only about 48 years ago.
16Eta Lep is classified as a spectral class F star (F-type (Yellow-White)) on the Harvard spectral classification system.
At an apparent magnitude of +3.71, 16Eta Lep is visible to the naked eye under reasonably clear skies. It may require dark-sky conditions to be seen comfortably in areas with significant light pollution. Observers will note its white hue, which corresponds to a B-V color index of +0.337.
