Alpha Capricorni ("Giedi": Ibex) is seen as two stars, yellow and orange, either with the naked eye or with binoculars. While the two are unrelated both stars are close binaries, enjoyed with small or medium sized telescopes.

Alpha Capricorni is south of Altair (alpha Aquilae). From Vega move down to Altair and then continue south almost the same distance.

Beta, in the same field, is named Dahib (Lucky on of the slaughterers). This bright golden star has a fainter blue companion (visual magnitude 6) -- a lovely sight in binoculars.
