Finding a "Star Registry" Star

Somebody we know "bought" a star from one of those registry sites that everyone complains about...

I'm sure that it is probably well night impossible to see, but does
anybody know how to find Pisces at 1h33m36s+16degrees07'49"? Is there a way to make The Sky software show it?

Lee: When I looked in Cartes du Ciel, I found this:

Star

Looks to me like the right star.

Right now it looks like it's going to be hard to see, it's too close to the sun this time of year. Hopefully this experience can spark the interest of your friend and get them interested in stargazing.

Cartes du Ciel is free so your "somebody" can download it if they want and check out "their" star.
