Close, you need to make the US overlay a little smaller and rotate it about 90 deg clockwise Bart you have Florida and the Mexican penninsula in the wrong position, and the top bit is meant to be Canada (it's all of North America).

Thanks Mike,
Something like this?
I dont see it though........
I thought my rendition seemed to fit better.
Each to his/her own then I guess....
Who makes the call for naming these Nebs anyway? (I guess the person who documented it first.... duhh) ie the running man looks more like a goanna to me......
Cheers for putting me 90 degrees straight
