The distance that I have calculated

I have made these calculations thanks to the formulas that we have learned in class:

D=10*(m-M+5/5)  where M it's  the absolute magnitude and m apparent magnitude.  M=6.58 and m=13.5

 D=10*(13.5-6.58+5)/5)

 D=10*(298/125)

 D=242parsec.

I have found that the distance that some scientifics have calculated it's of 208 parsec so the difference is not really big at all.
