Cygnus, the swan, rises directly northeast at 3 am EST tonight. It looks like a small cross pointing to the north horizon. The nearest other constellation is Draco, the dragon, and Cygnus would be northeast below the head of Draco.

Cygnus is a Summer constellation, high in the sky at sunset late in summer but not visible now until just before dawn. The brightest star in Cygnus is Deneb, which together with Vega in Lyra and Altair in Aquila, makes up the summer triangle. The Milky Way runs right through it, although you can't see it from most cities because all those lights make the sky too bright.
