Hi everyone.  I'm working on a star map that I plan to have printed and put on
my wall.  I like the result I have so far, except that it's a bit dry.  Does
anyone have good ideas for embellishments?  I'd like to keep the fading effect,
which I use to give a sense of depth.

Ah'hem Mack,
Suggest flare and glow stars, spiral galaxies with complete catalog data as
possible.

I'd think some background with a picture of the milky way would be nice.
Something like http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/02/images/milkyway_hi.jpg
Lining it up with your map would be a nice touch.
