After I left the Maia System, of cause not without taking a good shot of it, I headed to the California nebula.

I had an encounter with a slighty damaged mega ship, wondered what happend there, but could not get to the core of it, since my "Free Willy" does not have any hardpoints equiped. But 1 or 2 jumps further I found this gem. A terreformable Waterworld with one rocky moon (felt a bit like home)

After a bit of charting the nebula, heading was towards the NGC 1333 Star Cluster, inlcuding it's Nebula.
I will take my time here, and will traverse this starband with economic routing. The Nebula itself is breathtaking, seing it together with California Nebula and Barnard's Loop in one view. Some of the celestial bodies do have a great view and perfect conditions to one and another to have a few shots, including some biological surface samples.

Today I finally decided to leave the secure space of the Bubble an go to Sag A*
But it would be to easy to go there by the direct route, wouldn't it?

So I planned my route a bite different and I am going the scencic route over the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way - Overall roughly 100kLY.

After I took by trusted Dolphin Liner a bit around the Orion Nebulae, I fell in love with Saud Kruger Ships.
First stop is Maia B, just for funzies.
