EZ AQR - Currently in 12th place
EQ AQR is the 12th closest system to Sol. The system consists of a red dwarf of spectral class M5.0 with an estimated mass of only 11% that of the Sun.
Note how much brighter the M5.0 dwarf is in the IR rather than V band and how well this is shown in this 120 second animated exposure of IR and V band images.
