Delta Geminorum is a pleasant creamy-white star with a much fainter orange dwarf with an orbit of about 1200 years. Its orbit shows that the companion is presently about PA 225º and separation 5.8".
    As the companion is so faint (8.1), it can only be resolved in large telescopes.

Delta is the mid-riff of Pollux, ten degrees south of Castor: binoculars. Southwest of delta is the very difficult Eskimo Nebula (NGC 2392), impossible for binoculars.

To the northwest is the long-range variable R Geminorum, which brightens from about 14 to around 6 every 370 days.
