Can someone tell me where this one is located (I know it's in Cygnus)? I can not find it in my S&T Pocket Sky Atlas. I'm guessing it's likely plotted there, but not labelled (due to space limitations, there are numerous double stars plotted but not labelled). My only computer access is at work, and I'm not allowed to download anything. So, that is why Stellarium, etc. are not options. This is the one Rich nicknames the "yellow snowman" in his sketch of it.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Hi Ken,
It's marked on the Pocket Sky Atlas, if I'm not mistaken, and have my coordinates right - look on page 73, near the corner boundary dividing Cygnus and Pegasus.
The coords I have are:
RA 21 44 08
DEC +28 44 35.
Hope this helps.

Mu Cygni is much easier found from the northwestern most end of Pegasus than from Cygnus.

Thanks, Steve and Ed. I found it, in the Pocket Sky Atlas, last night. In addition to page 73, it's also on page 75, which is mostly Pegasus. Now, when the clouds and rain depart, I look forward to finding it in the sky!

I had the scope out Sunday night and found mu Cygni. At 208x, the image varied between elongation and an occasional very thin black space between them. I saw enough of the black space to feel confident I had split it.
Thanks, again.
