According to Aladin, that is the Mira-type variable star V571 Vul. There's some info (in German) here: http://www.astro-photos.net/CCD/M27_cctv.html which Google translates to:

In the northwestern part of M 27 there is a long-period variable Red Giant of the Mira type. It changes its brightness from 17.5 mag to 14 mag with a period length of 214 days. The official name is V571 Vul, the 571st variable star discovered in the constellation Foxes (Latin Vulpecula). The star discovered in 1990 by the Czech amateur astronomer Leos Ondra is known under the much prettier name Goldilocks Variabler. The history of discovery is also pretty. Two astronomy magazines published a picture of M 27 on their front pages, but they were taken at different times. Ondra noticed that a red star was shining in one shot, which was obviously missing in the other shot.
