Number 369 in the Herschel 400 list is NGC 6910. A fairly large and moderately bright open cluster in Cygnus, about 0,5 degrees north of gamma cygni. The brightest star in the cluster is a B-type supergiant somewhat similar to Rigel. This may or may not be a member of the cluster. The entire field is bathed in faint nebulosity, being the outer regions of the large nebula surrounding gamma cygni, IC 1318.
