Can anyone identify this object?

It is in Cygnus, just above and to the right of the Pelican nebula.

It appears to be a star with some surrounding Ha, perhaps a planetary nebula?. It ca be found on Stellarium but no information is available about it.

Have you tried uploading to astrometry and enabling the annotated view once it's uploaded?

Had the same problem 10 years ago. The object was catalogued in the 1930's, but it wasn't given the correct location.🤨 I don't now remember the details but its given location works out as being in the centre of the Pelican Nebula !! which when you go to it, there is nothing there. A search of bright nebula catalogues should give you the answer.

Astrometry is a useful tool- Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
