Beta Andromedae

Beta Andromedae (also known as Mirak) is a star, a red giant (spectral class M0) visible from Earth in the constellation of Andromeda.

When star-gazing from Sespe in California in the 2270s, James T. Kirk traced over the constellations until he finally found Beta Andromedae on the border of the Triangulum constellation, near where he knew the too-faint-to-be-seen Romulan homesun would be. (TOS novel: "My Enemy, My Ally")
