Omega Andromedae is the Bayer designation for a slowly co-rotating binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. Parallax measurements made during the Gaia mission make this system to be approximately 93.9 light-years from Earth. Its apparent visual magnitude is +4.83, which makes it bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.
98 Aquarii is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 98 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation, although it also bears the Bayer designation b1 Aquarii. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +3.97. The distance to this star, 163 light-years, is known from parallax measurements made with the Hipparcos spacecraft.
Chi Aquarii, Latinized from χ Aquarii, is the Bayer designation of a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. The distance to this star, based upon parallax measurements with a 7% margin of error, is roughly 610 light-years. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of about 5.
99 Aquarii is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 99 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation, although it also bears the Bayer designation b2 Aquarii. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.38; according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale this is bright enough to be seen even from city skies under ideal viewing conditions. Based upon parallax measurements, the distance to this star is around 283 light-years.

HR 3803 or N Velorum is a 3rd-magnitude star on the border between the southern constellations Carina and Vela. Based upon parallax measurements, it is approximately 239 light-years from Earth. It is an orange-hued K-type giant star and has twice the mass of the Sun. The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is 7.13 ± 0.08 mas. At the estimated distance of HR 3803, this yields a physical size of about 29 times the radius of the Sun.
