Well why the heck not? Unfortunately I am not going to be around this weekend to check on responses, so I am going to have to call a winner, official or otherwise.

The answer is Sabik, aka Eta Ophiuchi. Eroica came close with his guess of Han (Zeta Ophiuchi). Despite being the second brightest star in the constelletion, Sabik received the Eta designation (the seventh letter of the Greek alphabet) by Johann Bayer.

Get it? headache ---> aspirin ---> Bayer

Never mind, I should leave the puzzles up to ozark1

So George? Wanna take the next question?
