Don't need to. Looking at pictures of the area from around 1980 - 2018 shows only 1 star not in it's starting position. When you follow the path and see only 1 star fits the profile, it's pretty simple to figure out which one it is!

Hi,

I was trying to locate Barnard's Star last night but struggled and so decided to do a quick sketch.

Can anybody help identify it for me? I'm not even totally confident it's in the FOV now I've looked again! 😂

Kudos to Dominic Ford, webmaster for the BAA, for a very significant upgrade to the web site. One of many enhancements is support for animated GIFs.  My image now blinks in its full (alleged) glory!
