The nearest easily identifiable star to that line is X Sagittarii, a cepheid variable with a range of 4.24 to 4.84 and a period of just over 7 days. It's about 1.5 degrees northeast of the galactic center as seen from our perspective.
Of course, there may be other stars closer to the line and/or Earth but none that I can locate in a casual search.
