Location of BRC 34

As a Planetarium teacher, I wanted to know where BRC 34 was located in the sky. What constellation it was in? (Cepheus the King) What was the nearest bright star? (Alderamin & Deneb)

The image below was created using Starry Night software and Paint.

Below is a picture of the locations of BRC 34 & 38 in IC 1396--the Elephant Trunk Nebula. I am not 100 percent sure if I got the positions correct. If anyone can double check that would be helpful.

It is curious to see the 38's brighter rim compared to 34's.
