Thanks Mike,
The negative version is actually more appealing to me. Easier to see some of the very faint bridges between nebula clusters. I'll work on a negative annotated version and put it up on Gigapan. By annotated, there will be snapshots of individual features with designation with Ra and Dec. Great use of the Gigapan viewer. Click on a snapshot, it takes you to the object.
