Winter Sky Panorama (with star names)

This is a panorama of the main constellations of the northern winter sky, from Orion in the south (bottom) to Auriga in the north (top), with the Milky Way running down the frame. This area of sky contains loads of bright stars and is prominent all thru the winter months.

Brightest stars:

— Capella in Auriga, 
— Aldebaran and the Pleiades in Taurus,
— Betelgeuse, Rigel and the Belt Stars in Orion
— Procyon in Canis Minor
— Castor and Pollux in Gemini
Just off the frame below Orion is Sirius in Canis Major.

This is a drawing of a solar system somewhere. I drew it for my dads birthday, and the hardest things were probably the planets surface and the stars all around it. I wanted it to look like magic in the sky with all the lights, but it’s impossible to draw something like the sky in the night.

I drew it from my imagination, and yes - the system has it’s planets very close to it’s sun. And close to each other.
