People have been exploring to seek out the concrete wonders of our Galaxy, but has anyone been looking at the more creative side? Have some fun naming this one, and post your own!
Makes me think of a snake.

Haven't checked, but considering they use as accurate data as they can (at least what comes to distances and generic things like that), I'd assume so - Sol tho from my current whereabouts is far, far away, so can't go verify anytime soon.
Yes, indeed they do.
I thought yours looked a bit like a lighthouse and an incoming wave. What system is it from?
The Lighthouse
Hailing to you from the Orange Giant star Epsilon Columbae:
It's from HIP 51131, and V518 Carinae is in the upper-left corner. I thought it looked like a fisherman, casting his line.
Ratlan, yours looks like someone proudly holding a sword up to the Sun. So I call it: Victory.

Yes, they do - and more!

Budding Sigmund Freuds are avidly taking notes on this thread 
To be fair, that group of stars has been my destination since they were barely visible from Lave. I took screencaps in every system during the approach, and plan to string them together in a gif to see what it looks like.
I noticed something similar on my way to Epsilon Columbae. There was a group of about five bright stars near each other for about five or six systems. I didn't 'cap it because... dunno, just didn't think it was a good constellation.
So if a system has nothing interesting in it, but does have a really cool constellation... is that a constellation prize?

Here's my horrible line drawing of how I see The Fisherman.
I see it, I see it! Still prefer my own take on it, but that's my self-interest and hubris talking.
Here's a view of the same stars looking back in the opposite direction towards Sol.
Oh man, the bottom group of stars is so the Loyal Dog! I'm not even going to bother with the lines, if you can't see it - clearly you're a Thargoid! =p
