Hello! Please enjoy this stargazing gif as we ruminate on your question...
The constellations are not aligned with anything on Earth, but Ethyraia is set more-or-less in 'our' universe, simply ~800 years in the future. However, please remember — your character may see Sirius or Betelgeuse, but due to the shift in perspective and the change in distance + natural variances over (admittedly a small chunk of) time they may not recognize they're seeing Sirius or Betelgeuse, much less Orion or the Big Dipper! At least... not immediately.
Feel free to play around with this however it suits you!
