 Tau1 Gruis / HR 8700 / HD 216435
Tau1 Gruis is located around 109 light-years from Sol (HIPPARCOS Plx=30.04, e_Plx=0.73 mas), in the southcentral part (22:53:37.9-48:35:53.8, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Grus, the Crane -- south of Beta Gruis, southeast of Al Nair (Alpha Gruis), and northwest of Epsilon and Zeta Gruis.
Tau1 Gruis is a yellow-orange dwarf star of possibly disputed spectral and luminosity type G0-3 V-IV (see: HR 8700 in the Yale Bright Star Catalogue versus the HIPPARCOS Catalogue.] It may have about 1.25 times Sol's mass (exoplanets.org), probably a larger diameter, and about 3.6 times its luminosity.
