32 Aquarii is a binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 32 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.29. This system is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +19 km/s, and is a possible member of the corona of the Ursa Major flow.
Omega Cassiopeiae is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.99, which means it is a faint star but visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 4.65 mas as seen from Earth, this system is located roughly 730 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.16 due to interstellar dust.
Upsilon2 Centauri is a binary star system in the southern constellation Centaurus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.33. Based upon an annual parallax shift of just 2.57 mas as seen from Earth, this star is located roughly 1,300 light years from the Sun. Relative to its neighbors, the system has a peculiar velocity of 39.2+8.8
−15.2 km/s and it may form a runaway star system.
1 Centauri, or i Centauri, is a yellow-white-hued binary star system in the southern constellation Centaurus. It can be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +4.23. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 51.54 mas as seen from Earth's orbit, it is located 51.5 light-years from the Sun. The system is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −21.5 km/s.
3 Centauri is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus, located approximately 300 light years from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.32. As of 2017, the two visible components had an angular separation of 7.851″ along a position angle of 106°. The system has the Bayer designation k Centauri; 3 Centauri is the Flamsteed designation. It was a suspected eclipsing binary with a variable star designation V983 Centauri, however the AAVSO website lists it as non-variable, formerly suspected to be variable.

It has the Bayer designation l Centauri, while HD 110073 is the star's identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue.

It is located at a distance of approximately 365 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +15 km/s.
Theta Pictoris is a star in the Pictor constellation.
Omega Cassiopeiae is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.99, which means it is a faint star but visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 4.65 mas as seen from Earth, this system is located roughly 730 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.16 due to interstellar dust.
HD 176051 is a spectroscopic binary star system approximately 49 light years away from Earth in the constellation Lyra. The pair orbit with a period of 22,423 days and an eccentricity of 0.25. Compared to the Sun, they have a somewhat lower proportion of elements more massive than helium. Their individual masses are estimated at 1.07 and 0.71 solar masses (M☉). The system is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −47 km/s and will reach perihelion in about 269,000 years when it comes within roughly 17 ly (5.1 pc) of the Sun.
HD 224635 and HD 224636 is a pair of stars comprising a binary star system in the constellation Andromeda. They are located approximately 94 light years away and they orbit each other every 717 years.
HD 34790 is a double-lined spectroscopic binary star system in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has a combined apparent magnitude of 5.66, which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon observations by the Hipparcos satellite, it is located around 289 light years away. It has a combined stellar classification of A1Vs, matching that of an A-type main sequence star, and shines with 35 times the luminosity of the Sun.
LY Aurigae is a multiple star system in the constellation Auriga. It is an eclipsing binary variable star, dropping in brightness by 0.7 magnitudes every 4 days. The system is around a thousand light years away in the Auriga OB1 stellar association.
Phi Cygni, Latinized from φ Cygni, is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.70. The annual parallax shift is 12.25 mas as measured from Earth, which yields a distance estimate of around 266 light years. It is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +4.5 km/s.
Iota Gruis, Latinized from ι Gruis, is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Grus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.90, which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye at night. The distance to this system, as determined using an annual parallax shift of 17.80 mas as seen from the Earth, is about 183 light years.
Mu1 Gruis, Latinized from μ1 Gruis, is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Grus. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.79. The distance to this system, as determined using an annual parallax shift of 11.44 mas as seen from the Earth, is around 275 light years. It is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −5 km/s.
66 Eridani is a binary star in the constellation of Eridanus. The combined apparent magnitude of the system is 5.12 on average. Parallax measurements by Hipparcos put the system at some 309 light-years away.
25 Serpentis is a star system in the constellation of Serpens Caput. With an apparent magnitude of 5.37, it is just barely visible to the naked eye. The system is estimated to be some 450 light-years based on its parallax.
36 Tauri is a binary star in the constellation of Taurus. Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at a distance of over 1,000 light years from Earth. The combined apparent magnitude of the system is about 5.5, meaning it can barely be seen with the naked eye, according to the Bortle scale.
δ Microscopii, Latinised as Delta Microscopii, is a faint, orange hued binary star system in the constellation Microscopium, marking the eyepiece end of the "microscope". It is just visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.68. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.82 mas as seen from the Earth, it is roughly 300 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.142 due to interstellar dust.
λ Librae is the Bayer designation for a binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Libra. It can be faintly seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.03. With an annual parallax shift of 10.54 mas, it is roughly 310 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of this system is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.22 due to interstellar dust. It is 0.1 degree north of the ecliptic.
