Hi,

Glad to hear that you find the site useful.

If you want the data, much of it can be downloaded from the spreadsheets linked from the sources page:

According to the scientific literature, V404 Cygni is located at galactic coordinates (73.1190 -02.0911) and has a minimum distance of 1000 parsecs. This puts it on this map:

It is roughly at the same longitude as the star association Cyg OB3 (which includes the famous suspected black hole Cygnus X-1), but at a galactic latitude of -2 degrees, is much further south.

There is not much in this direction - no major star clusters, molecular clouds, etc. It is in the Milky Way equivalent of a rural area.

Hope this helps.
