The obtained experimental data about local sources of gamma-quanta are characteristic by the following fact. Though the observed metagalactic sources (active galactic nuclei) are 106 - 107 times more powerful, unlike the galactic one, the gamma-quanta energy spectra from both galactic and metagalactic sources can be averaged with spectrum index F (> Eγ ) ˜ Eγ 1.3±0.15 . This result puts - under doubt the assumption about the galactic origin of observable cosmic ray flux. Uniform cosmic ray spectrum is forming in "infinite" number of elastic (or inelastic) collisions with relict photons in intergalactic space, where the cosmic rays are 0.999... part of their time as the common volume of extragalactic space exceeds more then thousand times the total galactic volume in Universe. Accordingly, the observable spectrum distribution has index of (2.72 ± 0.02) = 2.718..., that is Napier's number. The local sources of extra-high energy cosmic radiation search by the EAS flux excess at narrow angular interval at the direction on supposed sources did not give conformable results because of extremely low flux of showers generated by gamma-quanta, which is connected with the process of accumulation of charged particles in Metagalaxy, which includes intergalactic space. This was confirmed at experiments in the ionization calorimeter with Pb absorb ent of total EAS formed by gamma-quanta which have no muons and hadrons flux determination. The analysis of such showers showed that between EAS on observation level of 3760 m high above sea level the "no hadron" showers flux is slight 0.005 ± 0.001 of full EAS flux; "no muons" showers showed the same result at 0.004 ± 0.001 EAS with primary energy > (3 - 4)1014 eV not a single muon was observed (Fig. 1). As a consequence of small flux of EAS containing no hadrons and muons searching of high-energy gamma-quanta stellar sources it was advisable to concentrate on observations of probable high-energy gamma-quanta sources at narrow angular interval at the direction on supposed object. Presently the most prevalent became the observation of Cherenkov radiation using mirror telescopes whith
