y Draconis


Psi Draconis is a binocular double of two yellow stars: 4.6, 5.8; PA 15º separation 30.3".

You'll need to find 40 Draconis first. Place 40 Draconis at the top (northern edge) of your glasses and move them two degrees to the south. Psi will slide into view: binoculars.

For binary-chasers, another star here -- phi Draconis -- is a telescopic multiple: 4.5, 6.0; 271º and 0.5" with a third component 12.7, 116º and 72".
