Not a bad attempt, but it's incomplete. Bascially, for much of the northern
hemisphere, it should be more along the lines of:
' '
+'
.
.
. ' '
. '
'
.
.+"
. '
or, the simple body/hourglass portion:
. '
.
.+"
. '
I don't know if you can create a decent .sig sized Orion without losing
the relative spacing and positioning which identifies it. *shrug*
