Orion constellation?

[DawnWarrior]

Is it possible that this is Orion? It's taken from a planet in Procyon system 8 light years from Sol:

Sure looks like it, 8 ly's is not thats far as it goes. A bit distorted as seen from earh.

I'm not sure. It looks to be too many stars...but...that just might be from the position your seeing it from. It very well may be Orion.

The big red one looks like Betelgeuse.

Eh, is this game amazing or is this game amazing? I can see Orion while standing on a planet from Procyon system! Mindblowing! :D

Yes that is orion

Ive spent enough time looking at it through the scope.

You have Big Red B

Also the very blue top right and the belt.

No way that is some other random formation.

Most of the prominent stars in Orion are blue or white giant or sub-giant stars, hundreds of LY away. Moving just a few LY from Sol isn't going to change the location of stars like that in the visible sky by very much. And since most of the really bright stars in the night sky are in much the same category, most of the contellations should look almost the same from anywhere within 20 LY of Sol.

But it does change. Go to Alpha Centauri and check out the night sky view from there. Cassiopeia has an extra star - that's Sol. Centaurus is, of course, missing its brightest star. And Orion has picked up an extra bright star, right smack in the middle of it - that's Sirius, which has a rather large apparent motion because Sirius, too, is only a few LYs away. From Procyon, Sirius will have moved to almost the entire opposite side of the sky.

Although (from Earth), Orion's "belt" leans the other way...

Your Orion looks like it's been flipped in Photoshop. Maybe it has? Or, put another way, you could flip your image in Photoshop to make it more convincing.

Apparently, the major stars get mapped into the skybox wherever you go. It's perhaps not precise enough for true stellar cartography (see: Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan, where the starfield is precise for the view from Regulus), but it's not bad for a videogame!

Also... note that from Earth or near Earth you will see Barnards Loop and Orion Nebula within/around the Orion constellation. So I don't think in the Picture is Orion.

Also that "nebula" on the picture looks like the brighter part of the Milkyway. Orion is viewn in direction to the outer parts of the galaxy. So you wouldn't see that next to Orion.
