Hi Antoine,
Interesting problem! You'll see my calculations and solutions in the attached file.
There is certainly another alignment of 3 (and maybe 5 or 6) first magnitude stars ... But "I give my tongue to the cat" (translation of an old french expression meaning "I don't know and tell me the answer").
Regards.
Paul.
