The temporal resolution isn't all that rigorous, is it?

"Your birthday star is in the constellation Bootes. It has the name τ (Tau) Bootis in Johann Bayer's Uranometria star catalog. It is also called 4 Bootis in the Historia Cœlestis Britannica of John Flamsteed and Edmund Halley. It is called NS 1347+1727 A in the NStars database.

"It has visual magnitude 4.5 meaning that you could just see this star with the naked eye under the best viewing conditions. It is marked in the center of this star chart, at celestial coordinates (J2000 equinox):
Right ascension 13:47:15.8
Declination 17:27:24.9"

And I know I dutifully filled in the change.
