HD 61563 is a star in the constellation of Canis Minor. It is an optical binary with Procyon and a white giant crossing the Hertzsprung gap[citation needed], however it is not actually gravitationally related to it. This is a double star system, but its components have not been individually resolved. The combined spectral type is A0III, and the combined apparent magnitude is 6.02, barely visible to the naked eye.
