In case you haven't heard/seen, the large-amplitude variable
chi Cygni is near a bright maximum just now. If you're familiar
with the main constellation outline of Cygnus, you notice that
there are now two medium-bright stars in the neck of the Swan.
The more southerly one is the variable, which tonight is brighter
than eta Cygni, normally the only bright star there. chi Cygni is
a late-type star and will appear distinctly reddish in a telescope.
