Galactic Mapping > Routes > Southern Nebula Tour

Almana to Cubeo, the scenic route. This tour of the galaxy will introduce you to many of the wonderful sights of the galaxy, and was my first foray into exploration after falling in love somewhere between the Cave Nebula and NGC 7288. I started the journey to unlock Professor Palin, and after the first few hundred lightyears I decided that instead of heading straight for 5000Ly and turning back around, I would take a tour of the nebulae to the south of the bubble. This journey took me about a month to complete playing almost every day while on summer vacation. This journey will take you past the Cave, NGC 7288, Heart, Soul, NGC 1931, Crab, Cyoidai GH-U E3-3, Monkey Head, Jellyfish, Rosette, and Thor's Helmet nebulae. on this journey you will also pass by several interesting stellar and nonstellar objects. Nebulae, giant (and supergiant) stars, Black holes, a Wolf-Rayet star, and a couple of Herbig AE/BE stars. There are many systems with no name on them, so please feel free to deviate from this path at your discretion, the purpose here is only to provide you with trail markers.
