You may be looking for the 23rd century Starfleet scientist Mira Romaine.

Mira is a red giant star (spectral class M7IIIe) more than four hundred light years from Sol, and the primary of the Mira system. This star was also known as Omicron Ceti, and was visited by the USS Enterprise in 2267. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")

Another planet in the Mira system, Dytallix B, was visited by the USS Enterprise-D in 2364. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

In an alternate timeline, it was listed on a tactical situation monitor showing progress of the Klingons in their war with the Federation. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")

According to a bridge display readout, the proper name of Dytallix B was Mira Antlia V, but it was mentioned as being in the Mira system, and also specified the star as being Mira. The relation between well-known Mira (aka Omicron Ceti) and the imaginary Mira Antliae was never clarified, so their coexistence in the same star system or star group would be one of the possible explanations. The Antliae reference was probably to avoid a conflict referring to the better-known (and previously mentioned) star in the latter appearance. Although no real star of that name exists, it could be considered a different star system.
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, page 37, this star was located in the Alpha Quadrant.
In the tactical situation monitor, the star was actually listed twice on the display.
