Wow! What a day! The systems I saw yesterday brought - yet again - many surprises with them. Here are yesterday's highlights:

• The planet shown above is a Terraformable HMC. Nothing special on its own (except for the ring system), but when I say that the planet is orbiting a trinary consisting of a Neutron star, a White Dwarf and the occasional K star, while the main star is a Black Hole... then it is indeed a special one. The system itself has also the new highscore for objects in the system (55).

• I found some more exotic stars: Another MS star, as well as the first Orange Giant and Herbig of the tour, respectively. This is the Herbig of yesterday's journey. And another thing is clearly visible in this picture - the camera lens is quite dirty and needs a clean up:

• Didn't see one of those in a while! Finally, after more than 240 systems, I found another Earth Like! Can you guess what the main star is...?

... it is another Neutron star! In Leamue/Spoihee, it were the K stars which held almost all ELWs found so far. Here, in Bloomee, it seems to be the Neutrons that have this bonus, for all Terrestrial types it seems. The Earth Like orbits the Neutron Star directly (only the second one for me!). Another big Water World can be found around the secondary M star... Shortly after that I landed on a moon having Silica volcanism, Arsenic and Germanium. And of course, everything I find at my chosen Geo site is Zinc and Germanium...

Today I'll move on and maybe reach the Double Black Hole in form of H10. What will await me there? You know my hopes, let's see what comes up today...

Yesterday wasn't the most succesful day in case of Terrestrials. Only one solitary Water World found in an early G star system of the day. The other highlights were all (or, mostly) oddities, and I freaking LOVE oddities!

• The following picture shows H8, a Black Hole with 35 Solar Masses. It was undiscovered, and has only a solitary Ice World in the system.

.

• This was a very common sight yesterday, as about a third of my yesterday's routes were dotted with White Dwarves:

• And then, two pretty odd Black Hole systems. The first one had mass code G, a Neutron Star and some Brown Dwarves with moons inside - and a pretty unsuspicious Gas Giant...

The black blob on the picture above turned out to be my first Black Hole Water Giant! As it orbits far outside the system, it is pretty dark here. It is only the 88th (maybe, maybe not) known Water Giant in such a system...

The other system is a mass code F system. Another Black Hole and your typical Gas Giants with Icies as moons. The twist is given in its three companion stars: All three of them (!) are White Dwarves! Here is the system map, with the pointer showing the data for one of them:

• Late in the evening, I arrived at H9, A Wolf Rayet Type O star. And of course it had already a tag on it... But as said, those Wolf Rayets are always a pleasure to see between all those mass H Black Holes. So it was time for a selfie in front of the star...

Next up is a Double Black Hole. I'll go there in Eco Mode to see more systems along the way. You know my hopes...

Onwards to H8, this is the actual motivation. Along with the "usual" motivations, to find A ringed star larger than L class, the 1 or 2 ELWs along the way or the highly unlikely Glowing Green Giant. Also I changed my progression again, so now I do stages of less than 500 lys in Economic Mode, just to see more systems for the things mentioned above...

But first, let's have a look back on some highlights:

• Water Worlds, Water Worlds, Water Worlds... that is the tenor of the actual days. And again, many of them were found in Neutron Star systems. One of the best catches in those two days was a system with a Neutron star at front and an L6 dwarf as secondary. It had a Water World and...

...and yes, this rather unidentifiable ball orbiting the L6 dwarf (that little red dot in the upper right corner) far out is an Ammonia World. The only one in this report though, but that counts as well. A brighter and beautiful Water World was for example this one:

• A Wolf-Rayet-N star was visited as H7. Of coursde, it already had a name signed on it, but they're always amazing to see, among all those Black Holes I see (and H8 is another Black Hole...). It is no record breaker though and there are no other objects in the system, but I took a photo of it nevertheless:

• Speaking of Black Holes, systems like this one are one reason why I'm here. Mass code F here, Black Hole + Neutron, a healthy mix of "star planets", Gas Giants (Class IV/V) and HMCs. Sadly I just wanted to move on...

... and today? Maybe I'll reach H8, and then go further to H9. Maybe not, but remember that one old saying:

The route is the goal

The next 2 H's are surveyed and today I'll head for the next one - the first non-Black Hole. But yesterday it was time to shine for H5 and H6... and the one or other object on the way...

• First, it got pretty hot. A G and a K star right next to each other...

• A few systems after, I managed to come across a landable Terraforming candidate in another G star system. It shares a barycenter with another terraformable HMC and gives a nice view on the Galactic disk. Also in the system: A Water World with Ammonia atmosphere...

• After another Water World, I arrived at H5. Sadly, it was only a solitary Black Hole, and it was already discovered ingame. So I went on to check a neighboring mass G system (another Black Hole, with with planets inside), and then move on to H6

• It were only 8 jumps between H5 and H6. Except for a giant landable Icy in a Neutron star system, and 2 White Dwarves along the way, nothing special happened. I then arrived at H6. A Double Black Hole wih some Brown Dwarves and moons as companions. Some of the Dwarves even orbit each other, such as A1 and A1A. The object in the foreground is in fact A1A...

As always, there's another mass code G in the vicinity. Another Black Hole, this time with a B star as companion. Plus planets. Both H6 and the mass code G system were uncharted and will most likely get my name on it... Next stop: H7, just 13 jumps (or about 600 ly) away. A Wolf-Rayet-N star which most likely will already have a name attached to it though. But we'll see... My hopes still remain: A ringed star larger than L, maybe an ELW or 2 along the way or the heavily unlikely Glowing Green Giant...

Yesterday lead me to the next Double Black Hole system. The route went from the upper regions into the lower regions. And there was the one or other thing to find:

• But first, I promised to go to that terraformable moon in what I call H3 and land on its own moon. I went quickly there, mapped the HMC, spotted a nice Geo Site on its moon to settle down, and swung myself into the SRV. After deploying the SRV, it looked like this:

The moon had 2.7% Arsenic and I managed to get a whopping 3 Arsenic! What an amazing yield! Just kidding, it seems to be: "The lower the Arsenic proportion, the higher the yield., and this is another "evidence" to prove that for me...

• I made 26 jumps towards the Double Black Hole I'm standing at right now. On the way it seemed, that Neutron stars were yesterdays' "match-winners" in case of Terrestrials. I found 2 of each Water Worlds and Ammonias, 3 of which (both Ammonias and one Water) were found in Neutron star systems, 2 of those (one Ammonia and the Water) orbited the Neutron star directly. A trend which started with the Earth Like a few days ago...

• I pretty quickly arrived at the destination, which I just call H4 (due to the system name). It is a Double Black Hole with little extras (two L dwarves, one of them ringed, with some moons). In its direct neighbourhood, there is another Double Black Hole, but it had mass code G and no extras.

To prove that I was there, I always take screenshots of the system map of the mass code H systems, and of one (or more) objects of the system. And in this case, it was the L dwarf 1, the one with the ring system. It has a - also ringed - Gas Giant with ammonia-based life as moon:

Next destination is - of course - H5. Another (solitary) Black Hole. What will await me there (and on the way)? My hope: A ringed star at a "higher" class than L, maybe an ELW or 2 along the way and, I hope the Glowing Green Giant (most likely not)...

Sometimes I just need a bit of luck. I found an untagged AA-A H system...! That is just one of the highlights from yesterday's flight:

• Let's directly start with the Triple Black Hole. Those three holes are not the most massive seen so far, but a good overall mass saves the H. There is also a sole T dwarf with 6 moons orbiting the C hole. All three holes were visible upon jump-in, that looked like this:

• Shortly before, I ran across a planetary nebula. Already discovered (sadly), but always nice to visit.
• On the road to the next massive H Black Hole, I found an F star system. It had a normal terraformable HMC with a terraformable moon. The twist: That moon was landable! So I landed on it, and took this picture:

• A few Water Worlds were also found, once again, 2 in one system, one of them being ringed, while having literally no atmosphere:

• ...before I reached the Black Hole shown below. At the first glance, A normal Black Hole and with 51.66 solar masses quite heavy (there are even heavier ones out there - no, I don't mean the "real" Black Holes!). But:
  1. it is fully undiscovered
  2. its "planets" are in fact "stars" with "moons" (I saw something like that in an G class Black Hole system down in Spoihee, and one of those "moons" was an Ammonia World).
  3. A terraformable moon orbits one of them, having itself a moon with volcanism and Arsenic. And there's where I'm going first today. Until then, have a good one!

The bubble now gets extended on the whole sector block, instead of a few lightyears. That's what I started yesterday by visiting every mass code H system in the area. First 2 (both Black Holes, next one is even gonna be a Triple Black Hole!!!) are down and: It's good to not see the same CMDR name on every mass code H object (like in Spoihee/Leamue). More highlights include:

• This beautiful Earth Like shortly before arriving at the first H object. It is the outermost planet of a quadruple star system, whose main one is a Neutron. The Earth Like orbits all three secondary stars - a nice rare find. It needed en point 100 systems after the first one, to find it:

• The introduction of 3 new star classes into the statistics, namely being O stars, MS stars and Red Giants, showing the MS star for reference:

• 3 more terraformable moons, one of them being a Water World
• another huge landable Iceworld, at a radius of 18344 km.
• And the two big Black Holes. The second one had a single, solitary Icy in its orbit, which was still uncharted...

Waiting for more now. What will come around this evening? I'll find out soon!

Last day brought up some nice findings and the 100th system in the bubble! Here are some highlights:

• the first 2 White Dwarfs in the bubble
• Again, some Water and Ammonia Worlds. One of the WWs and the Ammonia share one system.
• An absolute death trap. I jumped into what looked like an innocent mass code C K star system. Came out right in front of two almost collinding stars (2.5 ls distance between each star!), with me being nearer to star B (an M dwarf) than to star A. From some ls out, those two appeared to eclipse, and in that process, almost touch each other:

• and with this first mass code F star, a Black Hole with 3.78 solar masses, were the first 100 done.

.

Now I want to combine that with visiting all mass code H systems in the 6-sector-block, starting in, of course, the Bloomee sector. Then I'll move down first, before moving up into the "roof". The visited systems will count towards the personal statistics, because it will be part of this survey. Let's see what happens...

The new central system brought up ... not THAT many highlights. In fact, I'm already about to move on to the next system as center (I think only 4-5 systems remaining before that). But a few nice things could be scanned and sealed:

• A Neutron star system with 5 stars, and 2 planets orbiting all five of them.
• 3 more Water Worlds, 2 of them in one system. None of them were terraformable. This is one of them "from behind":

• The first Black Hole of the survey. Solid 2.91 solar masses...
• 2 close-standing star pairs upon arrival, first this K and M one:

I landed on a moon in this system just for the views (and some Germanium and Yttrium). My chosen Silica magma tube site was difficult to land and drive in (it was at the edge of a canyon, so really steep at some parts), but this was actually worth it:

Even a very close trio of stars could be spotted, a B and 2 T-Tauris standing very close here:

• The first Ammonia of the survey. Found in the 73rd system of the survey. It is quite massive and sports some nice rings.

Today the new Centrum will be introduced. What will await me in the "new" systems? Find out from today on!

The first 50 systems are done, and yesterday I moved over to the first "new" Central System of the bubble. From there, I'll pay visits to every not-visited system in its navigation list, before moving on to this last system in that list. Pre-dominant mass code tends to be mass code C, with mass code D being a close follow-up. The list also contains very few E's (3) and B's (2) so far, but we'll see.

Here are yesterday's highlights. And it looks like I can support my theory about mass codes and shinies from Leamue/Spoihee:

D and above are for the surprises, C is for the jewels

• An "evidence" for this was given right in the first system I jumped into yesterday. It was one of those typical mass code C K stars which can, but don't have to contain really good stuff in their system. But this time, my exploring luck struck me and I saw a twin beauty:

The first Earth Like in the "MaultierColt Bubble"! A pleasant sight to see and always very motivating! But wait, is that... yes, it shares a brycenter with a terraformable Water World! That makes it even more special! What a nice way to kick yesterday's round off.

• Even better: Right in the next system (Another mass code C, but this time, a M/L dwarf binary), another Water World was found. It was followed by its bigger counterpart (Water Giant) some 8 systems later in an F star system...
• A new personal record was set: Biggest landable Ice World I saw. The one I'm standing on in this picture sports a radius of 20673 km, and is the only planet in its system, orbiting the last Brown Dwarf in a six-star Neutron system. 5 jumps after, I got a slightly smaller sister, with 19187 km radius.

• A gas giant Class I with an eccentricity of 0.9231. Not bad! Its orbit around the star (F class) is perfectly oval:
