V725 Sagittarii is a

apparent visual magnitude 12.3 and 14.3.[4]

Prior to 1926, this star showed the appearance of being an irregular variable. It then became a

H-R diagram. It migrated from the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) to the Cepheid instability strip and then back to the AGB.[3]

In 1973, the spectral class of V725 Sagittarii was estimated to be between F8 and G2 and similar to a

emission lines.[10] In 2010, the spectral type was estimated from its colours and other properties to be K4III, although possibly late K.[3]
