This is increasingly Inside Astronomy and maybe they just thought
it was a cool background shot, but the Orion sighting precludes any
other constellations being as similar as that one.  The closest match
would be whatever constellation is 180 degrees in the other direction,
but it would look further away from Galactica's POV and our sun
plus the nearest stars would be in that constellation.  So we'd have
to conclude that Orion is just the one fluke that matches our sky
right now, or else it's a coincidence and just a constellation that
looks like Orion.
