Beta Librae is Zubeneschamali, The Northern Claw of the Scorpion.
Beta's claim to notoriety lies in the fact that most observers see a greenish tinge to the star, one of the few bright stars with such properties.
To find the star, from alpha Librae move up to the sixth-magnitude xi stars (in the same field as alpha) which curve to the east. Follow the curve to beta.
Placing beta on the northwestern edge gives you this binocular view.
