SNW actually fixed that inconsistency with a star chart showing the system.
Not bad for a bunch of writers that don't know or care about Star Trek.

Evidence of SNW being a possible alternate timeline from TOS

Hell, in direct contradiction to this thread, there are multiple examples of the writers on SNW clearly knowing their Trek lore and using the series to correct little inconsistencies, like Vulcan's moon. They also made sure to show that Pike is a Fleet Captain when he meets Kirk. They even managed to come up with a solid explanation for the Eugenics Wars timeline inconsistencies.
You could even argue that the scavenger ship in "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" is a reference to the gigantic black space creature from Klingon mythology that Worf mentions in "Where Silence Has Lease," which was said to devour entire vessels.
Clearly, the writers of SNW are Trek nerds who know their shit and are doing their best to connect the series to the rest of the franchise, despite what others may think.

I think that there is a lot of inconsistencies here and there with Trek. I don't think of too much, since it is too easy to go off into the weeds and debate over the littlest things. It is bound to happen with a show thats been around for decades with different writers. Whether something is "Canon" or not doesn't have much bearing on my overall enjoyment of the show.
I dont see Delta Vega.SNW actually fixed that inconsistency with a star chart showing the system.

They can't work miracles!I dont see Delta Vega.
Delta Vega? That's cold.
Or not.

The artists used the system layout from the 2002 Star Charts book, then added the new planet the writers created for that episode.SNW actually fixed that inconsistency with a star chart showing the system.

They didn't come up with it themselves.

But Delta Vega sees you, and that's the important part.I dont see Delta Vega.
No, but it Also points to actual care by the writers despite insistence of their evil duplicitous nature of seeking to destroy all Trek which came before.The artists used the system layout from the 2002 Star Charts book, then added the new planet the writers created for that episode.

The Director's Cut removed the moon and thus is the final canon take in regards to that film. Although TAS showed a moon, but then the canonicity of TAS has always been in flux.
A Delta Vega close enough to see Vulcan destroyed in the 2009 film is probably the only clarification we have on the entire matter.
I think we're all aware where the SNW art department built their graphic on. I've got the Star Charts book myself. The point was until SNW showed that diagram of the 40 Eridani system, it wasn't officially canon.The artists used the system layout from the 2002 Star Charts book, then added the new planet the writers created for that episode.

I think the canonicity of the Director's Cut is still up in the air. Usually, what played in theaters on original release is the canon version and any other cuts are apocrypha.
Someone forgot to tell George Lucas, since I don't know what tons of Star Wars fans are complaining about if Sebastian Shaw is still the canonical ghost Anakin that showed up in a theatrical release (Hayden Christensen was only added in DVD/streaming around 2004. Even a theatrical showing of ROTJ that was the Special Edition that I attended circa 2012 had Shaw in it since it used the 1997 special edition)
Memory Alpha also treats home cuts as canon, as the Colonel West posing as a Klingon thing only happened there.

This.
Depends on who you talk to.
Memory-Alpha for example considers the latest version released to be the 'canon' versions.
I don't believe CBS/Paramount has said anything on the matter.
Memory Alpha wiki is not now, nor has it ever been, canon
I still remember when they went through that hissy fit over denying Adira's non-binary gender when the character premiered on Discovery. They shouldn't be arbiters of canon.
