Since the Simbad coordinates are:
13 00 36 +05 41.0 J2000
it would be in Tom's stripe, but I thought CD23 only covered 6h-8h RA.
Shows what I know.  Here are the J2000 coordinates, in case someone
wants to calculate proper motion themselves.  The UCAC2 position
should be close enough for tass:
  13 00 36.632  +05 40 56.57  epoch 1950.4    USNO-B
  13 00 33.495  +05 41  8.15  epoch 2000.368  UCAC2
This star is bright enough to be in most of the proper motion catalogs:
  Lowell (Giclas)  G060-055  1.04  arcsec @288 deg
  LHS (Luyten)     2264      0.973 arcsec @284.4 deg
It was on our photographic parallax program (8.4pc if I recall right),
but has not been observed in the CCD era.
  Note that high proper motion objects are missed by most of
the surveys if their proper motion exceeds a certain amount (you can't
easily match across decades of plate epoch).  One arcsec/yr is getting
close to that limit.  Even for my 20yr timespan of taking CCD data,
I find that many stars are moving outside of my normal matching radius
and so I am going to have to rework my analysis pipeline one of these
days.
