OK sarongsong. I went home and dug out a copy of 'Where the stars are'.
I ran it back and forth around the 21 Dec time frame. The closest ol Sol came was RA 18.3.32.2 hr DEC 23.26.2 deg. Thats not so close to the big vaccum cleaner center. But it is somewhere near Sagittarius anyway. Maybe a more 'industrial strength' program would return better results. And while on the subject of software, I found a copy of 'The Earth centered universe'. The signifigance in that is that it has a LX-200 command set that functions. I used it for checking all the 'frankenstein' cables people were asking me to make.




cheers
