Tony,
I think I understand...
Using filters - RGB, Photometric or Narrowband to separate different sections of the star spectrum is not uncommon, and can be used determine stellar magnitudes.
Unfortunately to positively identify a unique star is almost impossible even from a high resolution spectrum. The best we could probably do would be to say it's a G2v type star......and there are thousands of those ;-)
