Orbiting Alpha Centauri

It has been said that in order to orbit a probe about one of our closest celestial neighbors would require the ability to describe the degree of arc to 6 decimals of a second. As an amateur enthusiast I would like to attempt plotting such a course. Will some astronomer please tell me how to write down such a figure? thanks in advance....
