Nice image Ivan but worth noting that it is mirror imaged. North is up but the galaxy group is to the east of SS Cyg. (See: Observation by Mike Harlow: SS Cygni in outburst - BAA Image Library )

Today, 28th June, SS Cyg is in outburst near R-mag 8.5. See AAVSO lightcurve generator for details: Enhanced LCG
