Thank you!
I have so many more images, and some not... I found the game through Steam, sadly. Wish I could have been a KS backer. I had hoped PRNT SCRN was taking screenshots but it wasn't until I accidentally hit F12 that I discovered the screenshot function through Steam, lol...
Here are some I missed:
High Metal Content World with a 100% Water atmosphere...

As a hobbyist artist and photographer, I am eternally grateful for the debug camera. I'm not a professional in any way, but I certainly enjoy attempting captivating composition. Playing ED Really makes me want a multi-monitor setup. I am a single-monitor peasant at present.

Wonderful shots.
I'm in the same boat, so to speak. I've been an amateur landscape photographer for quite a while, but haven't had my real cameras active for a couple of years now and it's been such a delight to occasionally take the time to stop and spend a few minutes getting a nice shot for the old Elite photo album.

Seems like pretty much everything around the Witch Head Nebula has been previously explored. But I got there and did what I set out to do: See one up close. Going to be heading back toward the fringes where no nebulae are visible and I was the one discovering every system I entered. Maybe I'll find something neat. O:
Very nice flight bLog! Awesome pictures!!! I have dozens to share from current trip, but so little time to play -isn't always?- that I'm being a lazy mass and not uploading to forums...lol..
Tip:
One of the most wonderful effects I have found in Elite, cannot be captured in pictures. But I will share it here...so you can awe as much as I do every time I get the opportunity to do it...
-You see that planet you posted as "composed ringworld"? Notice that the inner ring -brownish- is metallic/rocky and the outer is white -icy most likely. There is a gap in between them, see it?
-Get in that gap, as low speed as possible. Carefully and skilfully place yourself in between the two rings -not above, exactly in between so you have them on either side-, but so that you can appreciate the asteroids in the distance on both sides, not solid stripes.
-Drop off SC into regular. Watch the icy ring....
When you see it, you will know...then come back and tell us!
ps. Should work with two different types of rings, doesnt have to be metal/icy...it can be rocky/icy...or rocky/metal...just watch for the outer of both rings when you drop.

You've got some very nice finds there! Kudos to you!
That dwarf with the big rings... that's big, but there is bigger. A LOT bigger.
HD 227733 <<< No clues. Just go.
Thanks, yes... I discovered yesterday when reading threads that some of the things I've come across pale in comparison to some that others have found...
Some of these systems are just bizarre. Earthlikes with rings? Well, that maybe isn't too farfetched, but suns? I wonder if NASA or any other space exploration programs will find systems as crazy as we have...

A T Tauri huh, well as long as you don't get too many of those --- hey! That's me!!
Thank you, CMDR Katejina!
Searching the Galaxy Map tonight, I found a "Skull and Crossbones Nebula" It's rather small. My canopy was compromised by a small star with a large mass (not a neutron star though), so I'm going to be returning to civilization soon just to be on the safe side. Hopefull I will have enough data to sell to upgrade to a better exploration ship. Gonna need those 25+ ly jumps.
If you have an Nvidia card you can install Geforce Experience which comes with Shadowplay. Shadowplay lets you record or broadcast to Twitch with basically no FPS hit at all. Works fantastically. I haven't used the Twitch function myself, but seems easy enough to set up. Pretty much just inputting some info and choosing buttons to start recording and for the mic.
I guess Open Broadcaster Software lets you record to a stream too, but haven't tried that myself either.

I do have an Nvidia card, so I'll check it out. Thanks!
