You certainly can say that! Wow, what a beautiful picture!Im back in business
Thankfully I still don't know what I'm missing (and event that is already stunning to me), but you just made me a shopping list (my wife hates you...

I had some trouble upgrading my second account on Thursday, so eventually gave up and made a start on returning to the bubble instead. With the head start, a late night session Sunday and taking the day off work Monday to have a whole day of travel, I am now back in civilisation. Even if I am out on the far edge and several jumps away from the next occupied system, I am at least docked in a station.
Even in my last hurried sessions I managed to see something new in each one.
I have pics, but can't upload them at the moment. I will add them as soon as I can (maybe this evening).
In my Thursday session I found a green planet. Not vegetation, because it had no atmosphere. No idea what caused the colour, but definitly something I had not seen before.
Sundays was two gas giants next to each other. One with water based life and the other with Ammonia based life.
Monday gave me the closest planetary neighbours I have ever seen. When I first approached them I thought they were touching, but that turned out just to be my angle of approach. Still very close though, which made for a spectacular moon rise when parked on one of them.
I am very sad to have come to the end of my exploration, but I have one more challenge to complete before signing off entirely. I'm not saying what it is yet, but will give details when I have completed it (or failed).

My final post on this thread
I have now finished my trip. Despite the longing to explore this was a surprisingly welcome sight:
The final thing I wanted to do I have now done. In my first week of exploring I found a crash site with 4 tons of gold. Being greedy I picked it up. My first, and so far only time getting and transferring cargo with the SRV. I have been lugging that gold around with me ever since. Being an idiot, I decided that I wanted to make my way back from HIP 74290 to my home in Zaonce carrying that gold and in open play. Added a bit of tension to the final leg. As it turns out I got there (well one jump away), without incident. I am now parked up and waiting for an opportune moment to sell my data.
It's been a great trip and a fantastic experience. Many thanks to all who followed my exploits and gave me encouragement. As I have said before, this wont be my last trip (still got to find that undiscovered ELW and see a black hole), so I hope to be back one day with the next exciting installment.
Thank you all again and fly safe commanders.

If this is Thursday we must be in Sol
I'm sorry I wasn't there to welcome you home.
We have a task to complete here, but when that's done I'm going off on a tour of the Galaxy. I'm going to go to all the most famous locations I've read about in books, or seen on Galnet, topping off the tour with a grand journey to Sag A.

Welcome back home
And thank you for sharing your adventures. Reports like these help me to continue traveling, and give me ideas of what to visit or what to search for. The fun is that each commander has his own style of exploring and others always find things I never have seen or thought of to go looking for.
Looking forward to your next adventure!
