HD 5789 and HD 5788 is a pair of stars comprising a binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. Located approximately 151 parsecs (490 ly) away, the primary is a hot, massive blue star with an apparent magnitude of 6.06 while the secondary is slightly smaller and cooler, with an apparent magnitude of 6.76. Both stars are main-sequence stars, meaning that they are currently fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. As of 2016, the pair had an angular separation of 7.90″ along a position angle of 195°. While both have a similar proper motion and parallax, there's still no proof that the pair is gravitationally bound.

The pair have an angular separation of 0.80″ along a position angle of 250°, as of 2009. The primary is a B-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of B3IV. It has an estimated 6.3 times the mass of the Sun, with an effective temperature of 17,900 K.
HD 225218 is a quadruple star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda.

HD 16955, also known as HR 803, is a double or multiple star. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.376, is lies at or below the nominal limit for visibility with a typical naked eye. The measured annual parallax shift is 9.59 milliarcseconds, which yields an estimated distance of around 340 light years. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of around -10 km/s.
29 Cygni is a single star in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is dimly visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.93. The distance to 29 Cyg, as estimated from an annual parallax shift of 24.9 mas, is 131 light years. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −17 km/s. It is a member of the 30–50 million year old Argus Association of co-moving stars.
f Eridani is a binary, or possibly a triple, star system in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus, consisting of stars HD 24071 and HD 24072.

HD 44120 is a wide binary star system in the southern constellation of Pictor. Although visible to the naked eye, it is a challenge to view having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.44. The system is located at a distance of 118 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of 3.57.
13 Delphini is a binary star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus, with a combined apparent magnitude of 5.64. The system is located at a distance of 471 light years but is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of about −7 km/s.
HD 199223 is a double star in the equatorial constellation Delphinus. However, the system was originally in Equuleus prior to the creation of official IAU constellation borders. The components have a separation of 2″ at a position angle of 282° as of 2016. They have apparent magnitudes of 6.34 and 7.49 and distances of 354 and 359 light years respectively. The system is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −33 km/s.
