Default Symbiotic Star AG Draco

The variable symbiotic Star AG Draco may be about to have an outburst and brighten to over 9th magnitude (from 11.3).
The last time it brightened was in 1991, when AG Draco reached visual magnitude of 8.1.
AG Draco is a symbiotic binary that probably contains a cool giant star (spectral type KO) and a white dwarf.

Position(2000): RA 16:01:41.00 Dec +66:48:10.1
