γ Sge - The brightest star of the constellation has an apparent magnitude of 3.71. It is an orange giant of spectral class K5, shining from a distance of approximately 258 light-years.

Sham (α Sge) - The name, introduced about 200 years ago by Giuseppe Piazzi, an Italian astronomer who discovered the first asteroid Ceres, is based on the ancient Arabic name Sahm - arrow. This yellow giant of spectral class G0 has a brightness of 4.4mag and is located 382ly away. It has four faint companions.

ζ Sge - The main star with a brightness of 5.5 mag has a companion with a separation of 8.6". In smaller telescopes, they appear as a closely separated pair of unequal brightness. The main star is a physical binary, indistinguishable with amateur telescopes - it appears as a bright yellow, while the companion is blue. The system is located at a distance of 260 light-years. At a separation of 76", there is a fourth star with a magnitude of 11 mag in the sky.

θ Sge - The asterism is observed along the southwest boundary of the inconspicuous open star cluster NGC 6873, which is located in the same field of view in a larger telescope. In a 100 mm telescope, the components AB appear pale yellow (6.5 mag), and at a separation of 84", there is also a third, orange star of magnitude 9.

U Sge - In a period of 3.38 days, the brightness of this eclipsing variable star of Algol type changes from 6.6 mag to 9.2 mag. It is suitable for observation even with a small telescope, as the changes near the beginning and end of the minimum can be observed within a few minutes. The eclipse, which occurs approximately once every three and a half days, lasts for approximately one hour and forty minutes. The primary component is a blue main sequence star, while the larger but fainter companion is a yellow giant.

Herschel 84 - A binary star consisting of a primary orange component (6.5 mag) and a secondary blue component (8.9 mag) with a separation of 28.2". In at least a 100 mm telescope and higher magnification, it is one of the most beautiful binary stars in the constellation.

V Sge - Probably once a "new star", today almost at the limit of visibility in a telescope. It is almost always different in brightness every night, its magnitude unpredictably ranging from 8.6 to 13.9.
