如果以比邻星为参照点,那么太阳的位置将与其相对,赤径α=02h 29m 42.9487s,赤纬δ=+62° 40′ 46.141″。太阳的绝对星等Mv=4.83,因此在视差π=0.77199的情况下,太阳的视星等m=4.83 − 5(log10(0.77199) + 1) = 0.40。参见:Tayler, Roger John. The Stars: Their Structure and Evolution. Cambridge University Press. 1994: 16. ISBN 978-0-521-45885-6.
对于处在天顶以南的恒星,其与天顶的角度等于观察所处的纬度减去该星的赤纬。当它与天顶的角度大于等于90°时,恒星因位于地平线以下而无法观察。因此对比邻星而言,它的最高可观测纬度为:90° + (−62.68°) = 27.32°
