Stellarium doesn't label all stars. CdC usually gives more info.
Given Neptune at:
Coordinates: Apparent 2000.0 Topocentric
RA: 22h09m35.68s DE:-11?56'25.6"
Apparent RA: 22h10m12.74s DE:-11?53'00.0"
Mean of the date RA: 22h10m10.49s DE:-11?53'13.4"
Mean J2000 RA: 22h09m33.44s DE:-11?56'38.9"
My guess from the UCAC3 catalog at a distance of 14'15" and PA 88 is:
Star
3UC 157-290716
Visual magnitude: 12.79
Colour index: 0.72
Proper motion in right ascension: 0.005
Proper motion in declination: -0.008
Coordinates: Apparent 2000.0
RA: 22h10m33.883s DE:-11?55'54.12"
Apparent RA: 22h11m10.935s DE:-11?52'28.13"
Mean of the date RA: 22h11m08.689s DE:-11?52'41.54"
Astrometric J2000 RA: 22h10m31.647s DE:-11?56'07.45"
