     The "star to the east", actually 36" east of the red star, is
GSC 6846-0475.  Tycho-2 shows V=10.8 and B-V=1.1 for this star (large
uncertainties), and the B-V color is pretty much consistent with Stan's
V-R color.  The old Cordoba position nearly splits the difference in RA
between the two stars, but the bluer star is somewhat brighter visually
on average, so it is probably best to assign CD-25 12628 to it rather
than the red star (which is best called either IRC -30347 or IRAS 18001-2514).
