Portrait of William Tyler Olcott William Tyler Olcott A Field Book of the Stars — Draco (1911)

Draco now curves sharply eastward, coiling about the Little Bear as shown, then turns abruptly southerly, ending in a characteristic and clearly defined group of four stars, forming an irregular square, representing the Dragon's head. This group is almost overhead in the early evening in summer. The star in the heel of Hercules lies just south of the Dragon's head. The brilliant Vega will be seen about overhead, 12 degrees southwest of the Dragon's head.
