Simbad at

or
http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/sim-fsam.pl
list no star at those coordinates
(12 23 8 +4 44 41.604)

It list no star at these coordinates because it doesn't search through all
of the star catalogues.

Try http://archive.ast.cam.ac.uk/viz-bin/VizieR

put the star coordinates in in the box marked "Target Name", select target
radius to 0.5' and press "Find Data", and you'll get multiple references to
a ~14th magnitude star at that location.
