Peter Neufeld is a Star

Andromeda, also known as M31 in the Messier catalogue of deep sky objects, is the closest galaxy to our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Still, it is 2.3 million light years away. In about five billion years, the Andromeda and Milky Way are expected to collide, but, need I say it, that's not really our concern yet. Here is Space.com’s page on Andromeda. 

In our sky you can find Andromeda by locating it in relation to known visible stars and named constellations. Find the "W" of Cassiopeia and then hold you closed fist in the air under the right hand bottom point of the "W" and the elongated blurry smudge on the other side of your fist, on a clear moonless night, will be Andromeda.

There's an organization known as The International Star Registry. Somehow, in the early 1980s, only a few years after its inception and years before the devil's tool known as the World Wide Web, Dianne found out about the Registry and for Peter's birthday one year, had a star named for him. It can't be seen with the naked eye because it's located in what's known as the halo of Andromeda, which is that blazing spiral ring of stars surrounding the core.

I've borrowed this star chart and using the coordinates I was given by a lovely person named Jane at the Canadian offices of the Star Registry (00 07 05 +33 36) I've located the approximate location of the star names Neufeld. I typed the name and planted the red arrow myself.

Or, as seen in the sky with the boundaries of Andromeda overlaid.

Or, as seen in the sky, or should I say as not see, but with a crosshair locating the coordinates.

Here is a video from NASA that shows beautiful images of Andromeda as seen in three different ultraviolet wave lengths.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWxBTHVhc3I

As you watch, remember that one of those millions of points of light is named for Peter Neufeld and always will be right up until Andromeda and The Milky Way collide in about five billion years.
