HD 43317 is a variable star in the equatorial constellation of Orion, the hunter. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.63,[1] which is faint enough to be a challenge to view with the naked eye under good conditions. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 1,050 light years from the Sun. It is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of about 13 km/s.[6] This star is a member of an open cluster designated OCSN 63.[9]
