I live near the village of Lake Orion, about 30 miles north of Detroit.  
I am also an amateur astronomy buff...

The Orion in Lake Orion is pronounced,  or EEsig un

The constellation Orion is pronounced,  or RYE un

I'll assume the Ten*Tec rig is an Or-RYE-un.  Unless Scott is doing
something to honor me and my closest City.

New radio broadcasters in the Detroit area are always obvious when the say
"Lake or-RYE-un."

The group can do without how people in metro Detroit pronounce one of our
"main drags,"  Gratiot.
