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. There is some indication that there is a fourth component with a period of roughly 18 years. Located in the constellation Aquila, its visual magnitude varies from 5.93 to 6.06, making it barely visible to the naked eye.
The star's variability was discovered photometrically by Paul Guthnick and Richard Prager in 1930. It was given its variable star designation in 1934.
