Gamma Draconis is the constellation's brightest star at 2.2 visual magnitude.

Named Eltanin -- from the Arabic Al Ras al Tinnin, ‘Dragon's Head’ -- the star is usually pictured as one of the ears.

The head itself isn't clearly defined but beta (the second brightest star, ‘Rastaban’) is sometimes given as the eye, the head being seen in profile.

The asterism is found by moving from Vega (alpha Lyrae) toward the bowl of the Little Dipper. One third this distance (about three and a half binocular fields) you'll encounter the Dragon's head.

The entire head should fit into your field of view.

In the same field of view, the star just north of beta (and opposite the field of view from gamma) is nu Draconis, considered one of the finest binocular doubles in all the heavens: 4.9, 4.9, 312º and separation 61.9".
