7 Sagittarii is the brightest star in the region of the Lagoon Nebula, towards the right edge.

7 Sagittarii is a massive star in the southern zodiac constellation of Sagittarius which is located in the Lagoon Nebula (NGC 6530),[9] although multiple sources have considered it a foreground star.[10] It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.37.[2] The distance to this star can be determined from the annual parallax shift of 3.02±0.28 mas,[1] yielding a value of roughly 1,100 light years. It is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s.[5]

Gray and Garrison (1989) listed a stellar classification of F2 II/III[3] for this star, suggesting it is a K-type star with a spectrum showing mixed traits of a giant/bright giant. Houk and Smith-Moore (1978) had a similar classification of F2/3 II/III.[11] This may indicate it is not a member of NGC 6530, since it should not have evolved to this class from the O-type stars that still populate this cluster, and hasn't had time to evolve from a less massive cluster star.[10]

It is a suspected chemically peculiar star.[4][5] The spectral class from the calcium K line has been given as A8 while the class determined from other metallic lines was F4, making it an Am star.[12] This peculiarity is now considered doubtful.[4]

7 Sagittarii has an estimated 18[6] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 658[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 6,800 K.[5]
