Journey to Sag-A - The path less traveled

Journey  to Sag-A - The path less traveled Using 0:55:-16,000  - as a guide I will headed outwards to the furthers system I can find. Hypuae euq jc-m d7-0  15,809 light years from Jameson Memorial station. From there I will  start my inward journey, to the center of the galaxy. Sag-A As Sagittarius A is 25,823 light years from Jameson Memorial, this trip will be 41,632 light years, approx. radius of the galaxy.

Stopped for the night around 150 ly from the Trifid Nebula.

Stopped for the night around 150 ly from the Trifid Nebula. Lots of white stars around. May jump around a bit tomorrow to see if there's any giants.

A good night from Herschel 36.

A good night from Herschel 36. These stars are 9 and 8 solar radii big. Next door in NGC 6530 CDZ 115 there's an orange giant with 21 solar radii. Something worth checking out when in the area.

Currently taking a break in Blu Thua MB-J c23-1.

Currently taking a break in Blu Thua MB-J c23-1. No more mis-adventures today. All systems 100% and i'm actually making some distance now! About 2.6K out and gaining speed.

Slowly working my way toward Sag A in my ASP.

Slowly working my way toward Sag A in my ASP. It's been a slow but interesting journey so far. I probably have over 100 objects I've discovered and many more I've scanned that someone else discovered. I think I'll download and install captains log and play with that before bed.

Had my first excitement on the trip.

Had my first excitement on the trip. Jumped here and ended up smack dab between these two close binary stars. Heat immediately jumped to 130 and started to climb - fast! I hit the heat sink and nothing happened. It was already damaged. I didn't panic (Although I swore a lot!) and floored it as I watched my panel spark. I managed to get away with no hull damage but nearly every system on the ship received some amount of damage. I lit into my Auto Repair unit after dropping to normal space a safe distance from the pair. Lucky I packed 2 so used some of the first one to fix everything but realize I need to be more careful!
