:Firstly, the further you get from an object, the fainter the signal would become. It would likely be background noise by the time it reached Earth. Secondly; Sol is established to be in Sector 001, despite the Beta/Alpha border passing through it. Thirdly; Wikipedias [[wp:List of stars in Ophiuchus|List of stars in Ophiuchus]] shows a lot of stars lacking official names, with most G types being giants. For real stars, [[wp:HD170469|HD170469]] might work, though if you want a star that doesn't exist, there seems to be no 75 Ophiuchi ("Ophiucus 75") - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

::Now might also be a good time to point out that the constellations Ophiucus (of which any Ophiuchi is a member) and Hydra (of which Lambda Hydrae is a member) are in opposite directions from Earth? Ophiucus is on the Zodiac (largely above it) between Sagitarrius & Scorpio (Sun passes through in November) whilst Hydra is below the Zodiac near Cancer (Sun passes near in June). - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.
