61 Cyg is a naked-eye star system, but you have to do a bit of starhopping to make sure you're looking at the right one, as it is located in the heart of the Milky Way. At 70x, the stars are similar in magnitude (one is slightly brighter), and are spaced a bit closer than Albireo. They are both dingy yellow or pale orange in color.
