Everything looks well placed with the exception of maybe Vulcan and Earth. I understand that Vulcan needs to be close to Romulan space, but so should Earth for that matter (Earth-Romulan war a century before TOS; Earth-Vulcan first contact). They look extremely far apart in this close-up. Bajor and Starbase 375 are at least 30 light years apart and E-V looks 2 1/2 3 times that distance, though not accounting for 3-D trianglularity. Vulcan was only 4 days from Earth in TOS movie era (even with Scotty magic that means they are fairly close). Also I thought Galorndon Core was inside Federation Space on the edge of the Romulan Neutral zone, not vice versa. All in all beautiful start.
