Given your catalog number I will try finding it in in the Starry Night application. It simulates the motions of all of the stars it has in its database so it could conceivably account for the 1286 years. You can also travel out into the galaxy. I haven't tried to do that in awhile but it might be possible to triangulate the stars position relative to real stars that are in E: D.

Ah, distance is the problem. With most of these distant stars, the catalogues only record the position, possibly with a view to update the details at a later date.
There IS a way to calculate the distance... but I can't remember it. I have a shelf of textbooks behind me, the method will be in there somewhere, but I'm still not sure given the limited information that I can find that it will be enough to calculate the distance.
I completely understand the need to go and have a look even if it is procedurally generated. That's exactly what I did. Like I said in a previous post, why ruin a good story?
Ah, la distancia es el problema. Con la mayoría de estos distantes estrellas, los catálogos sólo registran la posición, posiblemente con el fin de actualizar los datos en una fecha posterior.
Hay una manera de calcular la distancia ... pero no puedo recordarlo. Tengo un estante de libros de texto detrás de mí, el método será en alguna parte, pero todavía no estoy seguro dada la limitada información que puedo encontrar que será suficiente para calcular la distancia.
Entiendo por completo la necesidad de ir y echar un vistazo, incluso si se genera de vista del procedimiento. Eso es exactamente lo que hice. Como dije en un post anterior, ¿por qué arruinar una buena historia?
Me disculpo por el traductor de google.
One way to calculate the distance to a star is to compare it's absolute magnitude to its apparent magnitude. The absolute magnitude can be estimated from its spectral type. This, of course, can be affected by interstellar dust and gas. Also, these measurements become less precise with distance from the observer.

Ok, thanks for use the translation. But is not neccesary I undernstand a lot of you say, but I spike very bad, lol (Yes I know, I'm Doctor Who and I dont speak English, lol). Thanks too other for help. I will wait to receive the papers of the star. to see if give us some useful data to continue.
