    I have noticed when displaying this star on version 4.3.0 it's location is different than where some other programs have it. For example astronomy.com, Wikipedia, earthsky.org etc.

    According Simbad it is at:

    ICRS coord. (ep=J2000) : 15 59 30.1622265912 +25 55 12.613382940

    In HNSKY the PPM reports:
    15: 59 30.1 +25° 55 13 K0

    G17 position is:
    15: 59 30.2 +25° 55 13

    At which position are you referring at. Note you can select in the settings J2000 or "Mean equinox of date" coordinates.
