# Average speed of 89 billion kilometers per year
Or 0.0094c

# Oh, the next node isn't a capture, by the way. Just a minor course correction.
Also are you allowing for time dilation?

# Ah, I misunderstood the route
But gamma is 0.99996, so time dilation doesn't really come into play, at least not to the number of significant figures i can be bothered to work to.

# You get an extra point for being so clever!

# Seems pretty slow.
Accelerate at 1g and you'll be there in less than six years.

# Seems like you'd need a planet's worth of fuel to accelerate thousands of tonnes of spaceship at 1g for that long.
Seems like you might as well take your planet with you at that point.

# I make it just over 4 years
And as brb says, lots of energy needed for that, although presumably you'd be using fusion so not so much mass needed.
