If you look at the image cutout at SIMBAD
https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-basic?Ident=ZZ+PSc&submit=SIMBAD+search
and blink between the DDS and SDSS images you can actually see the position move between the two survey dates. The J2000 position is between the two (Sometimes for high proper motions you even see a double image Red/Blue in the colour DSS images because of the difference in dates)
