According to Star Trek: Star Charts (pp. 18, 19, 36, 44, 56; "United Federation of Planets I") and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the two stars of 61 Cygni (Tellar) were K-class stars. Tellar Prime orbited 61 Cygni A. The system was located in Sector 007 (Tellar Sector).
