γ Mic - The brightest star of the constellation. It has an apparent magnitude of only 4.71. It used to belong to the constellation Southern Fish as the star 1 Piscis Austrini. It is located 220 light-years away from the Sun. It is a yellow star of the G8 spectral class, which has a companion with a brightness of 13.7 mag at a distance of 26".

θ Mic - A triple star system consisting of a close pair of components with magnitudes 6.4 and 7, separated by a distance of 0.5", which is a good test for a 250mm telescope. Higher magnification and stable atmospheric conditions are necessary to see this close pair of yellow stars as at least two disks in contact. 78.4" away from this close pair, there is another star of magnitude 11.

α Mic - It is not the brightest star in the constellation. This object belongs to the G6 class, so we can expect its yellow color. Its brightness is 5mag and at a separation of 20.5", we can see gray-white companions of magnitude 10 in the telescope. It is located 380 light-years away.

Dunlop 236 - beautiful wide pair (57.4") of two nearly equally bright stars (6.5mag and 6.9mag) suitable for binoculars and small telescopes.
