Naked eye optical double (mag. 3.78 and 3.93, but 250 light years apart, so not a true double), Omicron 1 Cygni (center)
to the south, Omicron 2 Cygni to the north, both yellow-orange. To the northwest is 30695 Cygni which appears to be a blue-green
(mainly from contrast) companion of Omicron 1 Cygni in binoculars, but again, it is a chance alignment. The three stars are
just west of Deneb and northwest of Sadr in Cygnus.
