δ Sct - This star is a prototype of a class of variable stars, whose brightness changes very little due to repeated shrinking and expanding of its diameter with a period of several hours. During 4.65 hours, its brightness fluctuates between 4.9mag and 5.2mag. δ Scuti also has a blue companion at a separation of 52.6", which nicely contrasts with the main, bright yellow star.

R Scuti - A dark yellow supergiant, a semi-regular variable star of RV Tauri type, one degree south of β Scuti (4.2 mm). Its brightness varies from 4.9 mag to 8.2 mag in a period of five months - the main period being 140 days. The deep minimum may be caused by carbon particles forming in the star's atmosphere. It is within the reach of a telescope, as it is the brightest RV Tauri variable star: it seems to oscillate at least in two overlapping periods and at its maximum it is at least 8,000 times more luminous than the Sun. It often changes brightness between 5-6 mag, but after four or five such cycles it drops to 8th magnitude. It is about 2,500 light years away. Similar stars have been found not only in parts of the Milky Way, but also in globular clusters, even in the center of the Galaxy itself.

Struve 2306 - The asterism is observed 1.75 degrees WSW from the star γ Scuti. The AB pair consists of a golden component (7.9 mag) and a blue component (8.6 mag), which are separated by 10.2". The companion is also a close pair that requires a relatively high magnification for resolution.

Struve 2373 - Double star located in a rich field of stars in the Milky Way. It consists of two yellow components with magnitudes of 7.2 and 8.2, which are separated by a distance of 4.2". A reasonable minimum for resolution will be a telescope with a 10 cm objective diameter.
