We report the discovery of a variable source located in Cygnus. The source has undergone a significant flux increase, brightening by approximately 2 magnitudes since its last recorded observation on April 17, 2026. Notably, the object is an orange star, suggesting a late-type stellar classification. A search of the International Variable Star Index (VSX), Gaia DR3, and the ASAS-SN Sky Patrol database yields no prior record of known variability or cataloged transient activity at this position. 2026TNSTR1800....1K N
