Wow! Signal - questions

[Perene]

Guys, it appears to me (please correct me if I am mistaken) there are no records from the wow! signal location and that fact has been ignored over time.

Wikipedia says

This region of the sky lies in the constellation Sagittarius, roughly 2.5 degrees south of the fifth-magnitude star group Chi Sagittarii, and about 3.5 degrees south of the plane of the ecliptic. Tau Sagittarii is the closest easily visible star.

Tau Sagittarii is the closest visible star in the night sky to the origin of the 1977 Wow! signal, the only radio signal that has been received that may be a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence. The location of the signal was, in epoch J2000.0 coordinates:

Right ascension (on the positive horn): 19h 25m 31 ± 10s

Right ascension (on the negative horn): 19h 28m 22 ± 10s

Declination (the same for both horns): –26° 57 ± 20′

******

Are there any photos from such stars and location, and perhaps a video like this one?

If such material really exist, can you point me to at least one source?

Follow the links 1 and 2, although it should probably be 2 and 1 if you want the correct time order.

"wow signal" in google puts up quite a lot, actually an awful lot.

Suppose it is luck that someone wrote "Wow" and not something worse.

Not overly relevant to Brazil but it came up on a TV program here a couple of weeks back, suspect it was Brian Cox and the Human Universe, but only 40% idea that is right.

The Wow signal furore was optimistically thought to be an intelligent one.

It was never repeated, and ET died I'm afraid.

No Idea if any other explanation was deduced, but I doubt it.

The closest I got to the spot with Starry Night showed this.
