Witch Head Science Centre

1st stop Witch Head Science Centre @ HIP 23759
I was welcomed with the beatiful sight of star setting behind the gas giant just as I arrived, also this was 1st asteroid base I have seen.

Into the valley of rings

Pyult KJ-H c26-2

Ringed Water World

Meeting

Happened to randomly drop at same system with fellow commander Simon Woods on the The Dead End's Circumnavigation Expedition

Behind

At this moment I realized how far I am at the edge of the galaxy with the whole milkyway behind me. This is the view I'm gonna have for the next year with slowly rotating around the galaxy and slightly different nebulaes dotting the sky towards home. On the otherside, almost empty blackness.

Prospecting

Soad KA-Q c8-0

Orbiting rings

The rigned moon is landable but unfortunately lacks any distinct features other than some shallow craters

Bringing out the SRV

Phloinks CB-M c24-0

Time to relax and take a break from the constant of jumping scooping an honkin and get the srv out and enjoy the view.

Hiding Ammonia world

Schafaei QR-N d6-39

I to the last second I believed this one to be yet another lava world, wonder how many ammonia worlds like this I have missed by mistaking them for lava

Another ELW

Eord Hypa JC-B d1-5

Found yet another ELW and stopped admiring it wondering what is down there

In the Rings

Phae Aeb EJ-K c8-10

Decided to take stop and dive into the rings of this gas giant and fly among the asteroids

Rings Shore

Smaidiae IZ-M d8-7

Moon orbiting at almost touch range from the rings of its parent

Rings Shore 2

Smaidiae IZ-M d8-7

This moon is so close it it's parent that you can even see the rings moving

Sometimes you just have to appreciate the simpler things

Shame this one wasn't landable

Two Trapped Lovers

Dehio LO-U b50-0

The risky spiral

Decided to dip myself to the layer below the galactic plane that is populated wit lot of neutron stars to try and get a little speedup, wasn't too successful attempt and had I could only stay in there for few jumps before my range just wasn't enough.

Phlai CW-N d6-5

Ammonia world with striped rings

Ringed AW I have been running into low of ammonia wordls lately, am I in thargoid space?
Lyruewry BK-R d4-12

Frying Pan

Found a body really really close to brown dwarf with huge frying pan like crater to get yourself grilled, be sure to pack suncream when landing!

Hypoe Bloae VP-W b35-1

Union of blue and orange

Orange baby herbig star orbiting much larger A class star, with both in distant orbit of massive O class star

Under the "rainbows"

Sphieso UE-R d4-5

Ringed Horizon

Finally found one of my "jackpot" locations, ended up waiting 4 days for the moon to orbit into a optimal position to catch both of these beautiful close by ringed planets in the same sky, and then it was time to go hunt the best landscape to capture them from.

Blaea Chraea AF-R e4-1

Cocoa stream

Flyumbua IC-T c20-0

The unthinkable

Then some 15 000 ly from beagle point, the unthinkable happened, I was on poor aproach to pitch black planet which completely took me offguard and i hit a mountain or the wall of a crater who knows what, and then everything around me was exploding and I was hearing my emergency frame shift slingshot activating. Back to the beginning I was, with 3 weeks before my expedition would hit beagle point, now this isn't the time to mourn, but to mount an epic dash across the galaxy.

Neutron n1, The Jackson's Lighthouse

Now these will be my best friend over the next tens of thousands of lightyears.

Pit Stop

Now 9 days after my crash and some brief engineering of my ship to go slightly farther than before 1/3rd of the trip done time to rest at Colonia and head to the bar here, I heard it is wonderful place.

Gamma Ray Jupiter

Even when going full speed across the galaxy avoiding any sightseeing sometimes it just throws sight right into your nose.

Scheau Bluae ZL-D

Beagle Point

I MADE IT!, catched up to my fleet and was able to meet them at the farthest reach of the milkyway.

The journey to beagle point. Don't let destruction wear you down, everything can be reached if you so desire.

I approve of this dump. If you listen to the sounds the planets make in the system map you will never mistake one world for another again.
