Did you try
VizieR? All the fields have explanations, but I can't see a distance. Anything beyond about 1000 parsecs is unlikely to have a distance unless it is a periodic variable like a Cephid.
Aladin (requires Java) has an image
here. (Hope that doesn't have a cookie and works.)
If you start from
http://vizier.hia.nrc.ca/ select Tycho-2 catalog, put the RA and Dec in the "Target" box, at the bottom of the result page are the Aladin links.
