So, Stellarium's stick figure for Sag makes no sense to me. As far as I can tell online, that shape is the best-known one. To me, it looks more like a scorpion than anything. So, I'm trying to redraw the lines to try to best represent an archer (at its core) and have an element of centaur too if possible. What do you all think of my redrawn shape? I'm also trying to maintain the flowing cape/wings Sagittarius is traditionally supposed to have

If you see it as Sagittarius that’s all you need.
The constellations in modern usage are defined by an area of sky. Anything inside is considered part of the constellation.
Lines connecting stars help folks remember but have no official standing.
