Is that real size? If it was visible to naked eye it would be this big? That looks like 10x the size of moon in the sky

This is shot at 35 mm so a pretty accurate representation of the size of the constellation in the sky. The moon is around 1/2 of a degree whereas Orion from Rigel at the “foot” of the constellation to Betelgeuse at its “shoulder” is over 20 degrees. So about 40x the size of the moon.
