The short answer is: No.
The long answer is that the time differences will be barely
measurable in nanoseconds.
Relative velocity difference between stars are typically
in the neighborhood of 10-50 mps.
You don't really notice relativistic time-dilation effects
until the velocites get up to about 140,000 mps.
