Beta Herculis (Kornephoros) is just as bright as alpha Herculis. Both beta and gamma are NW of alpha two fields: binoculars.

It might be easier to find beta by dropping south of zeta two binocular fields.

Having found gamma in the same field of view as beta, if you place gamma at the upper edge of your glasses you now find kappa Herculis, a binocular double with an interesting colour contrast: 5.0, 6.3; yellow and copper (or bronze), a position angle of 12º and a separation of 28": binoculars.
