I been reading about constellations, and there may be some with 16+ stars.
Some of my initial guesses were Lepus (Rabbit constellation) for obvious reasons, but then the pattern was a little like Orion but it still doesn't seem perfect. Orion would be a close guess because he's 'the hunter' as in hunting for eggs. LOL Plus, Orion was popular in the film about aliens - 'Independence Day'
I tried to make a chart of the egg locations sans the connecting lines to make it easier to superimpose it over known images of star patterns. When I saved the file, it was corrupted, strange (cue theremin music) but now I'm off to sleep...if I can get to sleep.

edit:
This is what i got when I traced the dots of the locations of the 18(?) pods. I'm not sure if it's perfect. Anyway, there is a repositioned shot included.
Orion has a spread of stars which can be seen below. *
