QS Aquilae is a triple or quadruple star system consisting of an eclipsing binary in a 2.5 day orbit around which a third star orbits in 77 years.[3] There is some indication that there is a fourth component with a period of roughly 18 years.[5] Located in the constellation Aquila, its visual magnitude varies from 5.93 to 6.06, making it barely visible to the naked eye.[6]

The star's variability was discovered photometrically by Paul Guthnick and Richard Prager in 1930. It was given its variable star designation in 1934.[7]
