Epsilon Eridani is west of delta, in the same field of vision, as seen in binoculars.. It's quite an interesting star.
The star, only 10.5 light years away, is quite similar to our sun. For some time observers have suspected a satellite to revolve around the star, and efforts have even been made to intercept radio signals, in case intelligent beings inhabited this unseen planet. So far, nothing.
If you move epsilon slightly to the left (east) of centre, you'll find that zeta Eridani has moved into view on the right edge.
