Many thanks for the help and info, folks.
Interesting to see that being located within the disk of the MW, it has obscured a lot of our view of the MW. It is only slowly that with new instruments, computing power, and technology, the full extent of the MW is being revealed. I'm finding this quite fascinating. This is the sort of stuff I just love sharing at outreach nights. Gives novices to astro a very new appreciation of what's up there.
The MW now being considered bigger than Andromeda in mass, corrr blimey! Big sucker alright. Thanks Les.
