    You are both right. This is what is named 30,31 Cyg by Russell. Skymap
    has all three names. Is 31 Cyg the same as omi Cyg, or the +6.98 star
    below it?
    
    I get the centre at 19:43 +46.9 (2000)
    While I composed this message, Thierry confirmed these values.
    
    It seems I can see stars at least down to +8.1. There appear to be traces
    of several stars around +9.
