Can you derive that info from this table:

Cross referenced with these tables:
Ancient Suns — FAQ: Flamsteed-Bayer (http://www.ancientsuns.com/faq/flambayer.html)

If I'm correct the table shows the answer as "11 Alp Psc" which I believe translates into "11 Alpha Piscium"

Edit-ebaines! You beat me by 1 minute! Please tell me you didn't know the answer off the top of your head!

No, I'm not that much of an astro geek! I found the Bayer name on-line easily enough, but I couldn't come up with the Flamsteed number - you got me there!
