It would help to know what epoch to use for the co-ordinates ie J2000? B1950 etc????

Using J2000, the nearest star to those co-ordinates appears to be:

USNO A2_0225_13675350 at V_Mag 14.3 at:
Ra 12 14 22.9947
Dec S63 17 45.990

However, GSC 08978 01170 at mag 12.9 is located:
Ra 12 14 20.208
Dec S63 17 21.58

and USNO A2_0225_13670847 at V_Mag 13.4 is located at:
Ra 12 14 18.3020
Dec S63 17 32.760

Cheers
