Regarding the following figure:

Tom Dame says: "The key showing the cloud masses is too prominent. I would move the circles closer together, make them a bit smaller, and move the box to the lower left of the figure. Also, I'm not sure why you put Solar-centric y on the x axis, and x on the y axis. Also, I would just labels them x and y with "Solar-centric" since it's pretty obvious that x and y are centered on the sun."

and me: "Would you recommend I center Y=0 on the Galactic Center, rather than the Sun?" Tom Dame: "I see it both ways but, yes, I think centering on the Center is better. "

Also, Michelle & Alyssa suggest that the color of the circles matches the color I choose for the lv map ellipses.
