Today I arrived at my goal!  It was an interesting trip.  I found several water worlds, but, more importantly I found an earth-like world!  Yes, it had been previously scanned and mapped by another explorer, but it will still get me 1 to 3 million credits.  I had hoped to find several earth-like worlds on my trip out here and earlier today, thought I was going to come up empty handed.  Luck of the draw!

I forgot to mention yesterday that I have crossed into the region known as Dryman's Point.

But, other exciting news.  I found two systems with biological life in them.  The first system had clouds of viride peduncle trees in two locations.

The next system had three clouds, but I only visited one.  This cloud was different from others I have seen in the past 9 months of exploration, in that it had three different life forms in it; candidum peduncle pods, rebelium peduncle trees and rebeum metallic crystals.  I've seen the crystals in other systems, today was the first time I had seen the trees or the pods.  I didn't see any candidum peduncle trees here, so I assume they release the pods, die and then the pods create new trees.  But I'm not a xeno-biologist so I am just guessing.

 I continued on towards the nebula.  At a range of 204 LY I took this photo of it.  This was 4 jumps away from my destination.  My next jump brought me to a neutron star.  I used it to supercharge my FSD and finished the trip in 1 more jump instead of 3.

Found an interesting looking icy body to park on for the night.  It has mountains as well as craters, some interesting soil colours and half of the sky is filled with the nebula.

This brings me to the end of my flight out to this region.  Below are some images from my galaxy map, showing you where I am in relation to the bubble (the area occupied by the human race, denoted by the markers in the distance) and the centre of the galaxy.  I am 32,834.49 LY from home.  The next time I head out, I will begin exploring this nebula to see what I can find!
