Hi Andy,
Good news/bad news I'm afraid...
Good news is you have the x-y co-ordinates for your star which are the
RA values and the DEC value, so you'll able to find it's position (if
not the star) on a computer planetarium (try a free one like Cartes du
Ciel or Halo) quite easily.
The bad news is that the last value, the "MAG", is the brightness of
the star, Mag 14 is very feint and you'll need a large telescope
(around 14 inches wide!!!) to actually see it.
Your best bet may be to find the area of sky where the star is and just
pick a faint one!!!!
Cheers
.
