There is a star there, but it is 15 mag in the A2 catalogue. The older GSC
catalogue has many mis-identified stars and lots of missing stars. The A2 data is
getting a little long in the tooth also. I find anything that isn't IDed with TYC,
HIP, or the newer catalogues -- B1.0, 2MASS, GSC-2.2, and UCAC as data that is not
terribly reliable.
