Struve 1694 represents the giraffe's head. It's far to the north and is in fact easier to find if you start at the North Pole.

This binary is a fairly wide pair of nearly equal stars: 5.4, 5.9, PA 326º and separation 21.6", but perhaps too close for all but the largest binoculars.

Assuming you can find the 'little dipper' (starting at the North Pole), descend its handle two stars, to epsilon UMi. (You might want to read up on Ursa Minor.)

At epsilon UMi, which is about seven degrees from the North Pole, move counter-clockwise around the Pole Star about seven degrees, mindful of keeping the same distance from the Pole Star. You'll come to Struve 1694, a rather bright 4.9 (combined values for its two components).

Alternatively, and perhaps easier, you can draw a line between the Pole Star and epsilon UMa (the first star past the ‘bowl’ of the Big Dipper). Having drawn this imaginary line, now descend it from the Pole Star. Just seven degrees away is Struve 1694.

This view is with Ursa Major to the south, and the North Pole to the north: binoculars, as in September and August. In spring the view should be rotated 180º.
