Jeff,
Ian raises a good point! have you clicked on the rogue star to see if it gives any data???
I don't have ALL the available Variable star catalogues installed, but I do know that not all the mapping software programs use the same versions of CSG ( there are about three versions.....) and even then some are complied in a modified format to suit their search and display algorithms. TheSky GSC database can't be read by CdC etc.
For stellar images fainter than 12 or 13 mag the Tycho or USNO ( or latest versions) are better.
