Astrophotographers - a favour if I may?

I wonder if I might ask a small favour from one of the avid astrophotographers among us.

A good friend of mine from the UK lost her daughter during childbirth last year. As a memorial to her daughter (Abigail) a few of us "named" a star in her honour using a company based in America. My friend is back in Australia for a few weeks and I get to see her this coming Saturday. I thought it would be nice if I had a photo of the star (or even a field of stars in which I could identify hers) to give to her. I have the exact coordinates of the star (located in Virgo).

Is there anyone who might be able to help, depending on whether or not this is feasible? I'm not sure how it would work (if at all - I know almost nothing about astrophotography!) but I know my friend would love this and I would be forever in your debt.

Greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Wade
