Tegmine - ζ1 Cancri (zeta1 Cancri)
Tegmine, also designated as ζ1 Cancri (zeta1 Cancri), is a multiple main-sequence star in the constellation of Cancer.
Tegmine visual magnitude is 5.63. Because of its reltive faintness, Tegmine should be visible only from locations with dark skyes, while it is not visible at all from skyes affected by light pollution.
