HR 4339 is a single [7] star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It was designated as Beta Antliae by Lacaille, and Gould intended to keep it in that constellation. However, the delineating of constellation boundaries by the IAU in 1930 saw it transferred to Hydra. [5] It has a white hue and is just visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.79. [2] The distance to this star, as determined from parallax measurements, is approximately 366  light years. [1] It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +1.3 km/s. [2]

This object is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1V. [4] It is a suspected variable star of unknown type and magnitude. [8] The star has 2.6 [3] times the mass of the Sun and it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 73 km/s. [3] It is radiating around 72 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,120 K. [3]

Eta Trianguli Australis is a solitary, blue-white hued star in the southern constellation Triangulum Australe. It is sometimes given a superscript: η1 Trianguli Australis, though it is the only star that is commonly referred to by this Bayer designation. Lacaille named a close by star as Eta as well, which was inconsistently followed by Francis Baily, who used the name for the brighter or both stars in two different publications. Despite their faintness, Gould upheld their Bayer designation as they were closer than 25 degrees to the south celestial pole. The second Eta is now designated as HD 150550.

62 Andromedae, abbreviated 62 And, is a single star in the northern constellation Andromeda. 62 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation; it also bears the Bayer designation of c Andromedae. It's bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, with an apparent magnitude is 5.31. Based upon parallax measurements made during the Gaia mission, it is at a distance of roughly 273 light-years from Earth. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −30 km/s, and is predicted to come to within 144.6 light-years in 1,6 million years.

18 Andromedae, abbreviated 18 And, is a single star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 18 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.350. The annual parallax shift of 7.9 mas can be used to estimate a distance of 413 light years. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.

22 Aquilae, abbreviated 22 Aql, is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 22 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.59. The distance to 22 Aql can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of 4.74 mas, which yields a separation of 690 light years. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −23 km/s.

41 Aurigae is a binary star system located around 310–316 light years away from the Sun in the northern constellation of Auriga.

The distance to this object is approximately 560 light years based on parallax, and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.97. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of +7 km/s, and it is a candidate member of the Lower Centaurus Crux subgroup of the Sco OB2 association.

HD 96819 is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra. It was formerly known by its designation 10 Crateris, but that name fell into disuse after constellations were redrawn and the star was no longer in Crater. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.43. Parallax measurements put it at a distance of 182 light years away from the Sun. This is most likely a member of the TW Hydrae association.

Rho Pegasi star in the constellation Pegasus

Rho Pegasi, Latinized from ρ Pegasi, is a star in the northern constellation of Pegasus, near the southern constellation boundary with Pisces.

19 Lyncis is a triple star system in the northern constellation of Lynx. A telescope reveals it consists of two blue-white hued stars of magnitudes 5.80 and 6.86 that are 14.750 arcseconds apart, with a visual companion of magnitude 7.6 that is 3.5 arcminutes distant. The first two are located around 680–690 light years away from the Sun, based on parallax measurements. Their radial velocity measurements are poorly constrained, but suggest the system is trending away from the Earth.
