There is a report of a possible nova in Cygnus. Previously 12th magnitude, this star has outburst to 8th magnitude in recent days. The good news is that you should be able to see it in binoculars; the bad news is there is no shortage of 8th magnitude stars in Cygnus. Still for the adventurous the relevant links are below.
