English: Trajectory of 61 Cygni B relative to A as seen from Earth (inclined ellipse) and from above (horizontal ellipse). Axis unit is arcseconds, where 1 arcsec = 3.4865 AU.
Orbital data from: Hartkopf, W. I.; Brian D. Mason, B. D.: "Sixth Catalog of Orbits of Visual Binary Stars", U.S. Naval Observatory. http://ad.usno.navy.mil/wds/orb6.html
Parallax from SIMBAD (retrieved 2011-08-09; note that these values may be updated from time to time, and thus en.wikipedia may use another value due to different access dates.
The size of the time steps (points) is 678/68 ≈ 9.97 years. North is down, East to the right.
