The tail of Draco, the Dragon, winds
between the Big Dipper
(at left) and the front bowl stars of the
Little Dipper at right. Thuban is between Mizar and
the Little Dipper's bowl stars, while the Big Dipper's famed Pointer stars
point at Giausar, at the tail's end. The triplet of stars
just down and to the right of center is made of 4, 5, and
6 Draconis, 5 Dra better known as Kappa Dra. At the upper right hand corner is
Al Dhibain Prior (Eta Draconis). Edasich (Iota) is to the left of Eta.
