How far is the constellation Draco from Earth, Orion, and Zeta Reticuli?

The Persians have regarded Draco as a man-eating serpent called 'Azhdeha'.





In early Hindu worship, Draco is given the form of an alligator known as 'Shi-shu-mara'. |||You have a great name. You really need to use a pic for it.
