This link is both to an observation of Sadr, AKA Gamma Cygni, from tonight, and to an image from Starry Night software for comparisson.  This is a particularly good area for binoculars, being in the milky way.  Sadr has always been a favorite of mine for binocular observation.  It is also good for testing the clarity of the skies, as I am familiar with how the area looks in binoculars for various observation conditions.
