Mu Cygni is a binary star[6] in the constellation Cygnus. Located around 22.24 parsecs (72.5 ly) distant, the system has a combined apparent magnitude of 4.50.[2] The primary, with an apparent magnitude of 4.69, has a spectral type of F6V,[7] and the secondary, with an apparent magnitude of 6.12, has a spectral type of G2V.[8] Their orbit has a period of around 700 years, with a semimajor axis of 5" and an eccentricity around 0.6.[9] Two reported additional components, C (apparent magnitude 12.93) and D (type A5 and apparent magnitude 6.94), are believed to be optical doubles rather than part of the Mu Cygni system.[3]
