Well, "as the launch began" is rather imprecise, and when traveling around Earth at ISS speeds every minute matters. This article says: "At the time of ignition, the station was flying just off the east coast of the U.S.", and in the time it took Cygnus to climb out of atmosphere it would have traveled another 10-15o east. So the photo is not fake ;)
