John,
I went to CalSky and punched in 1000 AD for Deep - Sky then placed the cursor on the desired star to get RA and DEC. This might work for you.

[NavList] historical star coordinates
From: John H
Date: 22 Oct 2012 19:21Does anyone know of a location that gives you star coordinates back some distance in time? In particular I'm interested in 1000 AD, but also 1600 BC to present.
I suppose I could chug through a formula of the precession of the equinoxes, but I was hoping that there is a handy website where you punch in your date, and get decl. and RA for major stars.
