While most astronomical sources still list a distance from Sol of 47.3 light-years (ly) -- apparently as estimated in the early 1970s -- for the CM Draconis system, some astronomers studying the star more recently have been citing a revised distance of 54 to 55 ly away. In any case, this very dim system can be found in the southcentral part of Constellation Draco
