35 Cygni Binary star in the constellation Cygnus

35 Cygni is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Cygnus. Its apparent magnitude is 5.18. Located around 1,000 parsecs (3,300 ly) distant, its primary is a yellow supergiant of spectral type F6Ib, a massive star that has used up its core hydrogen and is now fusing heavier elements.

5 Serpentis is a wide binary star system in Serpens Caput, the western section of the equatorial constellation of Serpens. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.10. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 39.40±0.29 mas as viewed from Earth's orbit, it is located 83 light years away. The brighter member is an IAU radial velocity standard star, and it is moving away from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +54.3 km/s. The system made its closest approach to the Sun about 153,000 years ago at a separation of 68 ly (20.7 pc).

ω Leonis, is a star located in the zodiac constellation of Leo. It is visible to the naked eye in the absence of light pollution, with an apparent visual magnitude of about 5.4. The distance to this star, as determined using parallax measurements, is around 108 light years from the Sun. Because of its location close to the ecliptic, it is subject to being obscured by the Moon, and potentially by planets.

Iota2 Fornacis is the Bayer designation for a star in the southern constellation of Fornax. It is faintly visible to the naked eye on a dark night, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.83. The distance to this star, based upon an annual parallax shift of 29.46 mas, is around 111 light years. It is a member of the thin disk population of the Milky Way galaxy.
