Hi Jon,
Check out the chart legend, I think those are dark nebulae. There are quite a few in the region of M11. I didn't notice that the edge of one cut right through M11 on the IA though. You can select the opacity of the nebulae that you want to display(6=darkest, 1=lightest). They're hard to select on the IA, I keep getting faint stars instead of the nebula. I have my chart set to 5 FWIW. Those things are everywhere in the milky way region. Try turning off the star display temporarily to select the nebulae, that helps a lot.
The pictures made all the diference.
Hope this helps,
Phil S.
