39 Draconis


39 Draconis is a multiple system containing seven members. Most of these components are too faint or too close for binoculars but component C is ideal: 3.8, 5.1, position angle 21º and separation 89".

To find 39 Draconis start at the Dragon's head. Now move xi Draconis to the opposite side and 39 slides into view.

Another fine binary is in the same vicinity, one with a nice colour contrast: omicron Draconis.
