Thespace velocity components of this star are U = −59, V = 20 and W = 4 km/s. It is presently following an orbit through theMilky Way that has aneccentricity of 0.18, bringing it as close as 24.27 kly (7.44 kpc) and as distant as 34.6 kly (10.6 kpc) from theGalactic Center. Theinclination of this orbit will carry HD 196761 no more than 0.65 kly (0.20 kpc) from the plane of thegalactic disk.[7]
