α Pyx - The brightest star in the constellation has an apparent magnitude of 3.7. It is located 470 light-years away.

β Pyx - The yellow supergiant of spectral class G5. A companion with a brightness of 12.5mag is located at an angular distance of 12.6".

κ Pyx - A binary star, with a companion of 10th magnitude, is located at a separation of 2.1 arcseconds from the component with a brightness of 4.8 magnitude. We will need a telescope with an objective diameter of at least 150 mm.

ζ Pyx - The main component has a brightness of 5.5 mag and its companion has a brightness of 10 mag at a distance of 52.3". We can distinguish them with a telescope with an 8 cm diameter objective.

ε Pyx - A remarkable multiple star. The primary component has a brightness of 5.6 mag and at a separation of 17.8", it can be observed with a telescope with a 60 mm objective diameter as a guide star with a brightness of 9.2 mag. With a larger telescope, we can also observe a star of magnitude 10 at a separation of 0.3".

T Pyxidis - One of the most famous objects in the constellation, a recurrent nova with a minimum magnitude of 16. During unexpected outbursts that occur every 12 to 25 years, its brightness increases to 6-7 magnitude. Such outbursts were recorded in 1890, 1902, 1920, 1944, and 1966.
