Exclamation Battery terminals?

This afternoon I opened up my car to realize the battery is completely dead. I have a portable Jump Start, so I popped the hood, removed the cover over the battery and...I sure don't want to light up the wrong terminal.

I see what I believe is a plus, but it's adjacent to a black wire, while what may or may not be a large minus (?) is closest to the red-marked cable.

If the stamped plus does indicate the positive terminal, I'm assuming I should clip over the large round terminal and attach my black cable to the frame.

Can anyone confirm the stamped + designates the positive terminal on this battery? My plan is to jump it tonight to ensure it's jumpable, and again tomorrow morning when I'll drive to the dealership for a replacement, but I feel pretty dumb for not looking more closely before I had a problem.

Yes that is the positive - the negative would never have a red cable attached to it.
