The cross-correlation search for gravitational wave, which is known as
'radiometry', has been previously applied to map of the gravitational wave
stochastic background in the sky and also to target on gravitational wave from
rotating neutron stars/pulsars. We consider the Virgo cluster where may be
appear as `hot spot' spanning few pixels in the sky in radiometry analysis. Our
results show that sufficient signal to noise ratio can be accumulated with
integration times of the order of a year. We also construct numerical
simulation of radiometry analysis, assuming current constructing/upgrading
ground-based detectors. Point spread function of the injected sources are
confirmed by numerical test. Typical resolution of radiometry analysis is a few
square degree which corresponds to several thousand pixels of sky mapping.
