It's difficult, as Skymap seems to calculate proper motions, as some of the the stars shift around. But going from the position of the Sun, it's about 25,300 years. Which is of course is about 2% less than the accepted figure of 25,770 years.

No, I haven't as I've been up to now interested in how Leo relates to the Sun when the Sun is at Fairall's position, and the accuracy of Skymap's calculations.
