Rocking Horse

< Two bright stars of the seventh magnitude and an eight-shaped arrangement of slightly fainter stars (around 10th magnitude) form an interesting asterism resembling a rocking horse. Due to its size, or rather smallness, it is suitable only for larger instruments allowing high magnifications.

VIC: The star cluster NGC 6910 is an easy target thanks to the nearby Sadir (γ Cyg). However, the child's toy is better enjoyed in a Dobsonian telescope. It's not much for even giant binoculars.
