:mutters something about travelling the galaxy in a small ship shouldn't be possible but is afraid to be heard by DBX fanbase:

Black Holes are fascinating artefacts, adding to the list of things to do in game.
It was quite instructive to have such a variety in the one system,easy to compare things like solar mass,age,etc. Worth it for the binary alone.
I would like to see the interaction at periapsis,but i dont have enough understanding of how to work out when that will be.
I'll certainly check out some of these links.
Heh, then I probably shouldn't mention that I came within inches of taking an Eagle out for exploration for a while. Outfitted and engineered and everything. But then decided I wasn't quite that much of a masochist.
I'm still considering it. A few years back I had the idea of retiring in an Eagle to travel the galaxy. Instead I ended up quitting the meta grind or at least taking a prolonged holiday and using a Vulture instead.Heh, then I probably shouldn't mention that I came within inches of taking an Eagle out for exploration for a while.

If there's a ship that's more fun to go exploring or do most anything in that isn't menial labor than a Vulture, it's probably an Eagle, but I like the idea of having something a bit more survivable.
So I hit up Sag A* about a week ago, and since then I've been travelling north through the core, when I started seeing my first planetary nebulas (all previously discovered, of course) including a couple of blackholes not 3klys from the center;
Not much lensing on this one, so I had to get in closer;
I'm currently sitting next to this one;
And of course, my obligatory Sag A* stuff;
Now I just need to find some with nearby landable planets to get some very cool pics of.

I went on a black hole hunting spree a while ago to find the biggest procedural generated one. Maxed out at 57 Sol masses.
Here's some images from the trip

Some more shots of that last one I found;
I wanted to see what would happen with the star behind it, but it didn't really do much.
I've since moved on, and it seems I'm now making a habit of finding these planetary nebula BH's;
Seems I'm starting a collection of these things, in every color of the spectrum!

A couple more for the collection;
It looks very similar to the last one in my previous post, but it is actually a different nebula.
And then a bit further on I found my 2nd undiscovered;
Was kind of surprised honestly, as this one was glowing pretty brightly on the map, so I figured it would have already been found. No planets in system, just a couple of B-class stars;
One of which was pretty damn close, only a few dozen ls.
Newcomer / Intro - What are you up to?
EPTs are a great upgrade. I also think they are available at Prof. Palin. They have a very low "minimum mass", which means they are hysterical with regards to the speed dropping off quickly once your ship gets too heavy, especially when they get a dirty drag mod. The iCourier, the Eagle and the...
Black Hole near the core
No Escape
I've found many unremarkable black holes and the others were ok but not close to what I'm seeing in this thread. What do you do to get these pics? Drop from supercruise to normal space?
It very much depends on the mass/age? of the singularity as to how close you are before the light bending effect becomes observable, so a dead stop is advisable at some point.Heat sinks are optional.
Like them holes

Some awesome shots here. I knew that there was such a thing as neutron fields. But I’ve recently discovered the black hole fields. I shall contribute soon!
