Star Trek Movie Challange

Went last night to the Star Trek movie a second time and whenever
there was open-space and star fields I was keen to try to recognize most
anything. Now of course only when those star fields would be from the
point of reference of Earth would any star fields have any hope of
looking like our favorites. I was very much expecting so kool Hubble
fields and so on as backdrop.

They either happened all to fast, my processing noodle is too slow, they
are obscure fields, OR they are not accurate backdrops. At this time I
am leaning towards auto-generated or 'artistic' star fields.

I only once thought I may have caught a glimpse of the southern part of
Orion in all of it but it was quickly disappearing behind a rather large
explosion (yes, in space complete with flames)

So if anyone takes the 'trek' to see the 'stars' in the move, the
challenge is to try to identify known star fields.

Oh and if they show known star fields when they are supposed to be 10s
of thousands of light years or more from Earth, well then recognizing
anything also counts as points (against the movie).

PS: I enjoyed the movie and hope my comment does not distract from
enjoying the movie but that is too far astray from visual astronomy so
will not comment farther. I consider this sort of observation as an
exercise in practicing observational recognition skills while being
distracted.
