Started from Deneb (white giant star, distant 3,229 ly; the luminosity 60,000 times of sun) hop to 55, 59 & 63. 59 & 63 will point to M39 which appear in finder scope. M39 appeared as large open cluster, not condense at the center. when compare to red-shift 3 program, I found that the most of stars should be foreground stars due to their distant just approximate 100-200 ly. and also, the west direction has error 50-60 degree. I will find out further. Home
