GSC 03549-02811 (sometimes referred to as TrES-2 A or TrES-2 parent star in reference to its exoplanet TrES-2), also known as Kepler-1) is a yellow main-sequence star similar to our Sun. This star is located approximately 750 light-years away in the constellation of Draco. The apparent magnitude of this star is 11.41, which means it is not visible to the naked eye but can be seen with a medium-sized amateur telescope on a clear dark night. The age of this star is about 5 billion years.
