Pretty likely a very thorough difference. Considering that a “mere” four and a half light years will alter several star’s alignments almost unrecognizably. Add to this the inclination of the star system to the galactic plane of the ecliptic, which will also change where in the sky things are seen, and then the planet’s inclination off the system’s ecliptic plane. I’d say a human would be thoroughly lost trying to nav on Cyantia.

Getting his bearings from the Stars, clever.

Most likely, he’ll remember his stellar navigation lessons.
Me, I’d need a compass or some sunshine.

On a good day, I could find Polaris. But it would take me a while.
I wonder how much the Cyantian star field differs from Earth’s star field.

I’m impressed, I couldn’t find Polaris any day, I have a hard enough time at night.
