I'm pretty sure this is called a "Sun Star". Does anyone know if this is correct and directions on watering?

Yes, that's one of the common names for it. The Latin name is Ornithogalum dubium, if you search for that you'll probably find more info. Here's the Plant Files entry for it which should have at least a little bit of info to help you http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/54047/

I bought one of these at a Trader Joe's on a trip about 2 months ago. The tag said to keep it uniformly moist while it was growing, then to start gradually holding back water as the leaves die back... and once it dries out, trim everything down to store the bulb for next year.
