Astronomy issue in The Choice

I have a problem with the idea that Gabby and Travis can see Orion and Canis Major and Canis Minor (who can see Canis Minor anyway?!) in Beaufort, NC in JUNE! I'm sorry, but Orion is next to impossible to see in June in NC. If he's visible at all, it's like right before sunrise. Even in the fall, he's not up until well after midnight. It's NOW (January) that he's the easiest to see.

So anyway, in the stargazing scene on Travis's back deck, they wouldn't be looking at Orion. They'd be looking at the Summer Triangle or something else. But not Orion. :)
