Black Hole Cygnus X-1

Where is Cygnus X-1? Cygnus X-1 is a black hole in constellation Swan. As it is a black hole it can't be seen. But we know it's near star HDE226868. I tried to find this star a couple of weeks ago but this failed due to setting issues and bad transparency. Yesterday I tried it again using Stellarium and with succes.
