Though it's one of my favorite spots in town the cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
Antares is the brightest star in the constellation of Scorpius. It has the Bayer designation α Scorpii, which is Latinised to Alpha Scorpii. Often referred to as "the heart of the scorpion", Antares is flanked by σ Scorpii and τ Scorpii near the center of the constellation. Distinctly reddish when viewed with the naked eye, Antares is a slow irregular variable star that ranges in brightness from an apparent visual magnitude of +0.6 down to +1.6. It is on average the fifteenth-brightest star in the night sky.
Classified as spectral type M1.5Iab-Ib, Antares is a red supergiant, a large evolved massive star and one of the largest stars visible to the naked eye. Its exact size remains uncertain, but if placed at the center of the Solar System, it would extend out to somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Its mass is calculated to be around 12 times that of the Sun. Antares appears as a single star when viewed with the naked eye, but it is actually a binary star system, with its two components called α Scorpii A and α Scorpii B. The brighter of the pair is the red supergiant, while the fainter is a hot main sequence star of magnitude 5.5. They have a projected separation of about 79.1 Tm (529 AU).
Antares is the brightest and most evolved stellar member of the Scorpius–Centaurus association, the nearest OB association to the Sun. It is a member of the Upper Scorpius subgroup of the association, which contains thousands of stars with a mean age of 11 million years. Antares is located about 170 parsecs (550 ly) from Earth at the rim of the Upper Scorpius, and is illuminating the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex in its foreground.
(And as a Scorpius it's "MY" red star.)
Using the posted coordinates, add the resulting sums to discover where this cache is hidden:
North plus A = (Average brightness rank times two) plus "mean age" (exclude millions)
West plus B = (Light Years from earth) minus (parsecs times two) minus (mass factor over Sun)
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
Good luck, have fun, and be safe.
"Red Star" by The Birthday Massacre
Best of cruel intentions
Finding what they fail to mention
No truth, all pretension
Raise your hand to get attention
You give and we take it
You build it, we break it
You sign and we erase it
You feel it, we fake it
It's my red star, steal it
It's my red star, can't let go
It's my red star, conceal it
It's my red star, I know
Wasted education
Celebrating imitation
Misplaced admiration
Speaking for a generation
You give and we take it
You build it, we break it
You sign and we erase it
You feel it, we fake it
It's my red star, steal it
It's my red star, can't let go
It's my red star, conceal it
It's my red star, I know
