o Draconis

Omicron Draconis is a lovely binocular double with a colour contrast, a yellow-orange primary and blueish-green companion: 4.7, 7.5; 324º, 34.6".

The binary is in the same field of view as 39 Draconis: binoculars

Retreat back to xi Draconis (move 39 Dra to your eastern edge, bringing in xi on the western edge). Naked eye might be quicker: from the dragon's head, move north from gamma through xi then north-northwest the same distance to the fainter star 26 (a little short of the much brighter zeta Draconis). This should be your binocular view.

Click on 26 on the map for its details.
