That's quite a star hop - 4 deg from Draco's head. I tried winging it but wasn't sure what I was looking at. So star asterism to asterism I went.

Complicating looking for the faintest tidal stream which I did not see was that Arp 102 is embedded in faint IFN. There are two faint 'vertical' bands, one going through the bright double star to the 'left' and one going right through Arp 102.

Also complicating were all the stars - too bright - hurting my night vision and distracting.
