   Is Thuban a True North Star?

   • The only star that marks true north more accurately as the pole star is Thuban, Alpha Draconis. Thuban comes within 0.2° of the pole, while Polaris comes within 0.5°. However, Thuban is considerably dimmer at magnitude 3.65, which made it slightly less useful as a marker when it was the North Star from the 4th to the 2nd millennium BCE.
