According to earlier investigations by Turner and co-authors, P Cygni could be a member of a hypothetical, sparsely populated open cluster. The star lies near the east boundary of this hypothetical cluster. There is another known open cluster, IC 4996, in the vicinity of P Cygni. The same authors believe that the above mentioned two clusters are connected to each other and they could represent a double cluster. As P Cygni is a hypergiant and consequently has very strong and variable stellar wind, so a cluster membership can enable us to determine the age, distance, and reddening of the star relatively precisely. We used new data of different catalogues, for example, PPMXL and Gaia and tried to resolve the problem.
