Nu Draconis
Nu Draconis is a fabulous binary star system in the constellation Draco. Residing at 99 light years distant, both stars share a distance from each other of 1,900 AU (1 AU is the distance of Earth from the Sun) and have an orbital period of 44,000 years. I captured this shot of Nu Draconis on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at Frosty Drew. -Scott
