Phakt (α Col) - The brightest star of the constellation. The main pale blue component with a magnitude of 2.64 has a companion of 11 magnitude at a separation of 13.5 arcseconds, which can be seen with a 100mm telescope. The system is located 145 light-years away.

μ Col - A very interesting star, one of a trio diverging from the constellation Orion. Along with the stars 53 Ari and AE Aur, it likely once formed a stellar system in the constellation Orion, with its fourth component exploding as a supernova 2-3 billion years ago, disrupting the stability of the remaining three, which are gradually moving away from their original position. In our Galaxy, μ Col moves at a speed of about 100 km/s.

T Col - A variable star of the Mira type with a maximum magnitude of 6.7 and a minimum magnitude of 12.6. Its period is 266 days.

Herschel 3857 - We will see the triple star in the telescope with a 100 mm objective diameter as a nice wide yellow-orange pair of stars, with a brightness of 5.7 mag and 6.9 mag, respectively. The brighter component has a separation of 12.9 arcseconds from a fainter grayish-white companion with a magnitude of 10.8 mag.
