Deneb Algedi, or Delta Capricorni, shines at magnitude 2.85. It lies 38 light-years away from the sun. The next brightest star is all the way across the constellation.

(Dabih is an Arabic name that means "butchers".) It lies 344 light-years away. Beta 2 Capricorni is magnitude 6.09 and lies 313 light-years away. The two stars are separated by just three and a half arcminutes. Another double star nearby is Alpha 1 and 2 Capricorni. Alpha 2 Capricorni also goes by the name Algedi. It is magnitude 3.58 and lies above the Beta Capricorni pair by a little more than two degrees. Alpha 1 is magnitude 4.3. The two stars are six arcminutes apart. Alpha 1 lies 686 light-years away and Algedi lies 108 light-years away.
