V1974 Cyg erupted on 1992 February 19, and was the brightest nova since V1500 Cyg. It soon became an object of massive international multiwavelength observational study.

Some major photometric features of the nova were investigated by DeYoung & Schmidt (1994), and Semeniuk et al. (1994,1995). They found two periodicities in the nova light curve. While the shorter 0.081263 d period was present during the 1993 and 1994 observations, the longer 0.0850 d period was only observed from 1994 July. Semeniuk et al. (1995) interpreted the shorter period as the orbital period of the binary system, and the longer one as caused by the rotation of the white dwarf due to a magnetic field.
