What are the coordinates of the Draco constellation?

I need the coordinates in degrees and in hours in minutes;Thanks!!What are the coordinates of the Draco constellation?While Poldi is right on the coordinates, that is the approximate center of Draco. But it is quite a long, skinny one, like its namesake.

It is from 55 deg to 85 deg in N-S Dec, and from 13h to 20h in RA, as it twists and turns. It almost surrounds the bowl of the Little Dipper.What are the coordinates of the Draco constellation?Constellations don't have Earth co-ordinates. Astronomers use Right Ascension and Declination (similar to latitude and longitude but not exactly the same).

Right ascension 17 hours

Declination +65 degrees
