CMDRs, What am I looking at here?

[Bloodsign]

Crossed into the Galactic Centre (yay for British spelling, sounds like a train station, hehe...)

Then I saw the unusual light seen in the attached screencap. I tried flying towards it for about 10-15 minutes, but it didn't seem to get closer. What is this?

My guess is a particularly bright neutron star. See if you can locate it in the GalMap!

Or a very small nearby nebula. As mentioned look in Galmap and see if either things are nearby

Thanks, will do. I'm gonna hit the Centre first, but I'll report back when I revist this system and figure out what this is.

Also, I think another post must have been deleted, what was the other possibility besides a nebula?

I suggested a particularly bright neutron star. Probably not what it is, though.

That's obviously Raxxla.

 

[Kzak]

A planetary nebula would be my guess.

Yup, I pretty much thought so. Time to start the bidding for the location, folks!

I bid thee good luck on your quest.

Lol, nice!

Those of you who said "small nebula" win the prize! Thanks for the input, CMDRs!

 

[Jaggid Edje]

Props to you for flying all the way to it to find out.

Well, it COULD have been Raxxla...

Another shot from the nebula's core system (rapidly oscillating neutron star):

France?

Regulac, a small town in France.

 

[Vandaahl]

I think its a small nebula.

 

[Wobblin-Gobblin]

You can check EDSM. It's a great tool.

Yeah, it's a supernova remnant or a planetary nebula. Nice place to take pictures of your ship if you are feeling blue.
