I hadn't realised Altair would be in there. Interesting that it's so close whilst Deneb so remote yet they both look similar as seen from here.

If one somehow travelled to Deneb at very close to c then whenever you looked back you'd measure Earth as closer to you than the distance you would simultaneously measure between Earth and Dubhe.
