I would like to observe 61 Cygni, as it seems like an easier target than Barnards. Any pointers? Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:52, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

(IndividusObservantis 2015-08-20 04:33 UTC) In my opinion there is no special tip on how to observe this binary star. It is very nice to check it with 10x or larger binoculars (on a tripod), or using a small telescope. Its brightness presents no issues and it can be easily observed with those optical instruments from any backyard in the middle of the city, i.e., no need to go to a dark site. It can be convenient to see it rising on the East around August, or coming down on the West around November. For me the really beautiful thing is to photograph it with at least 50x or so and check how it moves year after year. There is patience needed for that, but it is worth waiting.

Hello IO, nice 61 Cygni sequence. Bob King did an article in June 2015 discussing how to observe the proper motion: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-blogs/on-the-move-with-barnards-star-and-61-cygni06032105/
