A dark sky is highly recommended too. Find the star 52 Cyg and you should see one half of the nebula with an O-III filter and low power. A 6" Newt is more than enough to spot it.

thank you astro .... well, have an O-111, and a 32mm (though not 2"), so will line up on star 52 Cyg Sat night, and voila!!
