α Pic - The brightest star of the constellation, shining as a point with a magnitude of 3.3. It is located 99 light-years away.

β Pic - One of the stars, which was found to be surrounded by a disk of cold matter - mainly dust and ice - according to the records of the IRAS satellite from 1983. The disk was later photographed from the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile using the 2.5-meter Irénée du Pond reflector. The disk is composed of similar material to that found during the formation of planets, and therefore this star could be a suitable center for a forming planetary system. On the other hand, its luminosity exceeds that of the Sun by up to 60 times. It is located at a distance of 78 light years. In the sky, it shines as a blue-white star of magnitude 4.

ι Pic - Double star easily distinguishable with a small telescope. It consists of components with magnitudes 5.6 and 6.4, separated by 12.3 arcseconds.

Kapteynova hviezda - The red star with a magnitude of 8.8 is still visible through a telescope, in the close vicinity of our Sun. It is only 13 light-years away from it and exhibits the largest proper motion - 8.7 arc seconds per year - after Barnard's Star. Its position will change by the diameter of the Moon in two centuries. This rapid motion, in space at a speed of 280 km/s, was discovered in 1897 by the Dutch astronomer Jacobus C. Kapteyn, after whom the star is named. Its luminosity is 50 times smaller than that of the Sun.
