	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.
