Psi2 Draconis is a solitary[9] giant star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco, also designated 34 Draconis. It lies just over a degree east of the brighter Psi1 Draconis.[10] Psi2 Draconis has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.45.[2] It is located at a distance of 940 light-years (287 parsecs) from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2 km/s.[5]

According to R. O. Gray and associates (2001), the stellar classification of Psi2 Draconis is F2III+;[3] a star that has used up its core hydrogen, cooled, and expanded away from the main sequence. A. P. Cowley and W. P. Bidelman (1979) found a similar class of F3 II-III, with the comment that the spectrum showed "many weak lines".[4] Based on the abundance of iron, the metallicity of this star is much lower than in the Sun. It is about 800[5] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 50 km/s.[7] The star has double[5] the mass of the Sun but has expanded to 15[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 448[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,925 K.[1]
