@kevinjardine @DEWLine @BadSocialism @larrynemecek 112 Piscium is another possibility. A little off from where the map shows it but it's G type and much closer to the Sun.
@kevinjardine @DEWLine @BadSocialism @larrynemecek I agree, I look for a match for the star's spectral type in star charts if possible, and it shows it as a yellow star.
@DEWLine it's hard to find a specific star without db access. I'll add a search page soon.
@piebob looks like a Ticonderoga class cruiser. Probably CG-52, USS Bunker Hill. Wikipedia says it's supposed to be decommissioned this year.
@DEWLine that was the best K type star I could find in that location. It's a binary, but a wide one, both orange dwarfs, one of which is apparently an eclipsing variable. So a trinary, probably.
