Hey just wondering? How do you go to Dres?

Get into an orbit at roughly the inclination between Kerbin and Dres

Make a maneuver node such that when you burn prograde your Kerbin SOI exit is in the direction of Dres

Make midcourse adjustments so you encounter/not collide with/get close enough to Dres

Do stuff at Dres as needed (capture burn, more mid-course corrections, etc)

Spoiler

You can also zoom in on MechJeb's "Advanced Transfer to Another Planet" plot to get MechJeb to automatically make the maneuver node.

Some discussion of that here:

Some alternative means:

• If Dres is above/below relative to Kerbin's orbit, launch from Woomerang (or anywhere) when Dres's target reticle is just before the north-south line on the navball. Launch into a 90 degree polar orbit; the 90-degree orbit will let you burn towards Dres when you're passing the poles.
• If Dres is nearby relative to Kerbin's orbit (in roughly the same plane), launch into an equatorial orbit, and then do a usual transfer burn.
