Alpha Reticuli is a third-magnitude star and a binary (a very faint 12 magnitude companion 48.5" away).

The introductory remarks indicated how to find the stars of Reticulum.

The region contains a large, bright spiral galaxy seen face-on, NGC 1559, situated between alpha and theta Reticuli.

Theta is a binary as well, a sixth magnitude star with eighth-magnitude companion: PA 4º and distance 4".

Looking south during the Southern Hemisperic summer (November-December), if you place alpha on the extreme eastern edge of your glasses zeta appears on the opposite side: binoculars. These stars, zeta¹ and zeta² (5.5 and 5.2 respectively -- note zeta² is the primary), form a very wide binary: PA 222º and separation 130", quite suitable for binoculars.
