Winter Valkyrie -vs- the Perseus Gap

This Nebula was my first expedition here is a link. It explains a lot about this nebula in post #1 and #2 https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...rst-Expedition-(Share-your-first-Exploration)
I mention cupids arrow in post #1 third last paragraph.
You will have amazing opportunities for awesome pics.

Very cool! I'll have to look for that beacon!
I agree that the linear "arrow" like formation of O-Stars is truly a wonder of nature. I'm currently taking my time traveling along the arrow jumping in to random systems and taking a peek. My real journey begins once I leave NGC 7822 behind and head in to the empty valley of the Perseus Gap. But I am truly having a blast touring about in the nebula. I need to make sure I capture more video before I leave so I can do another travellog vid.

Also: excellent images!

A true enthusiast of Science Fiction cinema. Cheers to you CMDR Crisp! If I could rep you twice I would! :)

A few more pics from my travels.
Nothing really staggering... but a few pretty sights to be had here and there.

Previously tagged ELW. Still went in for a closer look as they are rare to behold.

Water world with an exotic glowing atmosphere. IIRC... part argon, lots of ammonia.

It was so pretty I decided to slide in to orbit and shut down for the night :)

That's it for now.
I have also been recording video odds & ends, so I hope to assemble another v-log in the near future :)

13,000 LY out from Sol.
A few postcards from the trip.

Every now and then beige gives way to something spectacular... every now and then...

As an explorer, it's moments like these that I live for. The beauty and zen of isolation. I must've spent an hour or more just basking in the moment listening to the exquisite ambient soundscape and music.

Finally! on my third exploration journey... my first ELW!
Now if only I can get back to port in time to claim it as mine, haha.

Typical of my camping sites. I try to find the beauty even in the mundane.

That's all for now.
