    Can you derive that info from this table:
    http://www.weasner.com/etx/autostar/names326tab.txt
    Cross referenced with these tables:
    Ancient Suns — FAQ: Flamsteed-Bayer

    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!
