Sextans A is a dwarf galaxy in our local cluster (outside the milky way and indeed the member of the cluster furthest away form us).

As a galaxy it contains millions of stars and you can not easily identify the major stars in it.

However I do note that there appears to be a bright (orange colored) star in Sextans A. This star is a member of our galaxy and is not in Sextans A. I am afraid I do not know the designation/name of this star, but one could look it up on star charts.
