I just got the following reply from Mike Okuda:
>>
Thanks for the note. I asked Andre Bormanis for his help on this one. We realized that whatever star we picked, there was a distinct chance that someone would have a valid issue with it.
The main consideration was that Arcturus (aka Hokule'a) is only 36 light years away and is an orange giant K2 star, stable enough for M-class planets. We also wanted a star that was visible from Holland during their event, and we wanted something bright enough for amateur stargazers to be able to spot easily.
Hope this helps explain the thought process.
Best,
-Mike
