In the lede, it states and the star is about 75 parcsec west of bright Sadr (γ Cygni). This is a very questionable claim. Generally, when using east/west, we refer to angular distances as perceived from Earth. Claiming an actual distance, we might use galactic directions (galactic north/south, spinwards/antispinwards, or in/out), but I can't come up with a way where we'd be using "west". Does anyone know what that statement was supposed to say? If not, I'll remove it. Tarl N. ( discuss) 03:58, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
