By my estimate there are about 2,000 systems in the nebula so finding 1 system with a permit would be very tough. I've managed to scan roughly 300 systems so far as I'd like to build a database of system map images.

I wonder if yesterdays update has any new mysterious things for us to find. Missions seem to have recieved some rebalancing via background sim mechanics ( same with UAs maybe)
Bing Bing not got co-ords, shall have to use The Force on this one.
Turning off tracking computer, eyeballing for the trench. Young'uns should turn away now. Is sexy time!

I'm going to sit back in the cabin and read a book to take my mind off things while the aufopilot takes over (could take me five hours finding the place at this rate).
Be some nibbles along shortly because belly rumbling.

From today's APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day)... http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160217.html
Look at the image and tell me you don't see Barnacle spikes.

I want to visit 'pinnacles in Australia' so much right now. If only it was barnacles instead of pinnacles though.
would you shoot them to see if they drop meta alloy?
I was working on some Barry this morning but it was quite the Endeavour, let me tell you.
Expecting the Odyssey will be there.
The only sad thing about this, is that my timings are off and the parking fees prevent landing.
Can you imagine Stuart Gilligan Griffen just landing his tiddly ship down the road and walking in with an envelope containing a communique of half a heli, while all the big shots were expecting explosions and lasers?
Where there's life, there's hope and it's always possible to be both early and late at the same time in these uncertain times.
Someone should roll the Hawk in for a goosey gander, it could blow his mind (if In-tell-i-gence let's him comment fast enough, that is).
Isn't Niacin also known as "Vitamin K"?
What will Kellogue think of next?
This is your Captain speaking. Our current altitude is 23km at -28 -63 and our heading is 70 degrees. Out of the port window, you can see a huge mountain range approaching.
A London bobby turns to his well-dressed female colleague and calls out today's lucky numbers which are: six, twenty-four 2 and twenty six.
Players are reminded that they are encouraged to read a little before and after if they require contextualisation. It may be a wilderness out here but there is a bar amidships, now serving warm beverages.
So the captain septs to a gent, do we really need a Companion for this operation? Would letting her shampoo someone's hair score in the qualifying round?
Says the Malc to the public relations officer , you want to leave this shulxan now!
PR takes his meal and eats it in his bunk.
[Voice over intercom] current altitude 22km, -26, -51, adjusting heading to 100 degrees.
23km, -27, -49.5, heading now 180 degrees.
A woman in a headscarf grabs some rosary beads.
Someone grabs a circular slide rule and says to his fellow traveler, it's about now I really hope the black hole nearby doesn't effect the compass needle or the gyroscope.
Another voice, asking why an original mta disc won't run across seven windows yet in multi-mode (is probably faulty, bit shakey recently).
22, -34, -50, speed 150
"Ambassador de'laighn, have you worked out exactly what you will be saying at the service?", asks an encounter-suited being, carrying a baton.
a pause for breath here as someone starts praying...
26.5 -44.5 -52.5, speed 190
This is your captain speaking. We appear to be experiencing more turbulence than expected and apologise for the rockety ride, meals will be dispenced along the vomitorium presently.

The rumors were wrong, the secret to inter-dimensional travel was not scurried away from the bubble on the mythical planet Raxxla
Reality is they were always there, just waiting to be found, in a humble knot of spacetime
would love to see fdev run with this bug, rather than 'fix' it

Ladies and gents, we are now hovering over a point of interest at -61.1082, -51.2445 at an altitude of 28km, facing 247 degrees.
Those whom have offerings to present should do so now, while the women get stuck into some food.
My people's kitchen is now preparing some milkcheck lasagne, shipped in from New York for the tiny gal in the driver's seat, give her a wave as you fly past.
Hungry hungry babies now only have 4 minutes before they receive their filtered nibbles.
Place your coins into the box as the collector passes by, or take some out if you REALLY need it (we'll look the other way if necessary)

A few facts about the large ships with exploding drives:
Antares.
- Drive type: MK3b military drive.
- Cause of failure: Cascade failure in the hyperdrive's internal containment systems.
- Reason for failure: Unknown. Suspected accident.
- Source: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56a62e029657bae044730a8a
SS1.
- Drive type: High-capacity hydrogen reactor - Conventional hyperdrive.
- Cause of failure: Complex, multi-stage engine failure.
- Reason for failure: Unknown. Suspected accident.
- Source: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56c1a75d9657ba6573fb9f0b
Duval's Duval (Emperors personal yacht).
- Drive type: 4 Mk3 military drives.
- Cause of failure: Critical engine load.
- Reason for failure: A logic bomb was loaded into the vessels main computer. It was designed to take over engine control. This was done by Commander Carlos Ramirez Sanchez on behalf of the Sirius Corporation. The motivation was to force the Empire to lift the Dream-Ware ban. It worked.
- Source: http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/first-e...-of-life-on-the-frontier/a-business-proposal/
End of facts. Start of speculation:
A corporate war is going on between those that support military drives and those that want it banned. Sirius corporation has a monopoly on military fuel (anti-matter based). They are suffering because of the ban. Core dynamics are enjoying the situation.
Antares was sabotaged by Core Dynamics. This gave enough weight to the 'Ban the Military drive' campaign to get a galactic ban.
SS1 was sabotaged by Sirius corporation, to show that hydrogen fuel drives are not safe for large vessels ('the failure began with a power surge in the ship's central power plant – a relatively common occurrence in a high-capacity hydrogen reactor'). They will soon present a new 'safer' Military drive.

It would appear that our flight path is being sent to two different locations at once and a significant tail-wind has appeared off our starboard port. We now find ourselves located at what appears to be the antipodal point!
We will get our astrogator to look out of the sunroof to make sure everyone is in the correct location, before we tack on.
Now hold onto your crockerlery, lads, this is going to be rough.
For those playing catch-up at home, we join our heroes in a race for life and limb.
Commander Duke Starkiller and Cadet Happenstance have just returned from eating a quick meal and are handing out rice cheques and wheat cheques for people to tear the tops off in order to fill out an application form for a genuine real-to-goodness, jumping Jupiters space-o-phone!
It comes with two solid plastic cones covered in offical Space Patrol blue & yellow lightning strikes and a communications cord and is just a breeze to use once your parents have finished eating their dessert yoghurts.
Cadet Happi has turned up (eight days early for some reason) carrying an hose pipe attached to a whirring fan of some sort.
He explains that he intends to use it when or if (depending on the brainograph scans) it becomes necessary to extract one single drop of blood from the newly born baby, currently sitting atop Eli's highchair.
Commander Lolli has appeared (he's the father) and he's brought sweets!

Can I have some of your drugs?
As with life, any medicaments come with their side effects. Which reminds me, it is now indeed a suitable time for my duly prescribed tablet.
I think he was sitting next to Barnacle without a tinfoil hat for too long.
I woud be inclined to agree
Been to Lagoon, Barnard's Loop, Orion, Taurus Dark Region, Witches Head and few more, searching for Barnacles, no such luck, found only UAs at HR 1445. So decided to go to Maia Pleiades to try my luck, was constantly interdicted so I left. I then decided to visit Merope 5c to visit the barnacle found originally. Whilst at the barnacle site with my SRV, I noticed a ship approaching with raised weapons, next thing he was firing at my ship and eventually destroyed it, he then came for my SRV and destroyed it as well, didn't stand a chance! Bit cowardly I thought. Just to warn other players if planning to go to Merope 5c barnacle site, to go with a wing.
Ok, this has now made it obvious I missed something in the original question. I thought the thing we were trying to find out is whether the barnacles would glow during the day, not necessarily how far the glow can be seen from. To answer the former all you need to do is get close and cast a shadow over it, but the latter is much more difficult to answer, and arguably not that helpful.
