Thank you very much, Bill, for a highly detailed (and FAST) answer!
I played with the CMC-14 (and others) as well as the image from DSS-1
and saw exactly what you are talking about. All very educational.
You, and Guide8, never fail to impress me.

My star display is now exactly what I saw in the telescopes!

With much appreciation,
