Hello Paul,not sure i can help really… How far was this red star from 61 Cyg ? The variable you mention is about 2.5 degrees away, is that about right ?I did a quick review of ‘bright’ carbon stars in Cygnus, but none come very close to 61 Cyg.Also, V1334 Cyg is a fast period cepheid (3 days), and reported as spectral type F1, so should not be especially red. So, sounds like a bit of a mystery…Regards, Callum
