It is believed that there is a black hole in the constellation of Cygnus (the Swan), the strong X ray source Cygnus X-1 is believed to be a binary system where one component is a black hole. (see the link Below).

There is also a super-massive black hole in the center of our galaxy (the Milky Way) this is to be found in the constellation of Sagittarius and is called Sagittarius A*. (see the link below).
