Ankaa (α Phe) - The brightest star of the constellation. Its brightness reaches 2.3mag. It is distinctly orange and belongs to the spectral class KO. It is located on the northern edge of the constellation and for observers at 40 degrees north latitude, it culminates at a height of 8 degrees above the southern horizon. It is located at a distance of 77 light years.

β Phe - A close binary star with a separation of 1.4", whose individual components of 4 magnitude and 4.2 mm can be resolved by telescopes with an objective diameter of around 15 cm. The system is located 198 light years away. In the field of view at a distance of 58", we can still see another companion with a brightness of 11.5 magnitude.

ζ Phe - Optical double star, whose components at a separation of 6.4" can be easily resolved even with a small telescope. The fainter one has a magnitude of 8mag. The brighter one changes its brightness every 40 hours, as it is an eclipsing variable star of the Algol type. It changes its brightness from 3.9mag to 4.4mag, which can be easily observed with the naked eye.

η Phe - A binary star, whose components have a brightness difference of 19.8". The brighter one reaches a magnitude of 4.5, while the companion exhibits an 11th magnitude.

ξ Phe - A well-resolvable double star for a telescope with an objective diameter of around 100 mm. The primary component has a brightness of 6 mag, while the companion is at a separation of 13.2" and has a brightness of 10 mag.

SX Phe - Dwarf Cepheid, a variable star whose brightness changes from 7.1mag to 7.5mag every 79 minutes and 10 seconds! However, sometimes it brightens up to 6.7mag.
