Cygnus, The Swan
High overhead on August nights, Cygnus (The Swan) and its brightest star Deneb fly through a rich vein of the Milky Way. Deneb marks one corner of the large asterism known as the Summer Triangle, along with nearby Vega and Altair.
Look for Cygnus almost directly overhead by around 10 PM.
