Description:
Beautiful golden star also known as Herschel's Garnet Star. With its high luminosity it dominates the field. As it is easily visible also with the bare eyes, it's a very easy target. If T Lyrae is unbeatable in redness, this star is probably the winner in the golden category. This star is actually one of the brightest known stars, a supermassive giant nearing the end of its life. How sad.
