The beings who moved her around wanted to give her some signposts,
she would never have seen either Saturn or any triple star system
from Earth without doing a sky survey, a very detailed one in the
case of detecting Proxima, with good telescopes.
However, using Alpha Centauri or Saturn as "signposts" to Earth would
be just plain stupid. Long, long before you got close enough to
detect those things, the map of the zodiac would tell you where Earth
was.
So, unless we are just looking at some bad science on the part of
the writers, there is no point in analysing if it's alpha centauri
(which does not flash) or Saturn.
Rationally, it should be neither. It should be some unknown
system halfway along the path where, once you get there, you then
can plot out the stars of the zodiac.
