There are 6 bright stars in Cygnus

Albireo, a double star with blue and yellow components is at the "head".

Deneb, its brightest star, is at the tail.

All the other stars in the constellation are given designations rather than names apart from Cygnus X-1 which is interesting because it is an X-ray binary with one component being a black hole.
