Cat Paws nebula

Insomnia · Oct 20, 2015

Sometimes, Elite Dangerous just blows my mind. I wish however the nebulas had more varied textures on it to resemble the nebula photos on the interweb.
That said, Cat paws nebula is beautiful!
Next goal is the NGC 6357 nebula for moar amazing experiences.

Thank you Frontier!!

One of the first landmarks I hit on my A* run. Gorgeous stuff.

Check the Orion Spur Map.

Its just over halfway between Sol and NGC 6357

My experience of nebulae has been one of increasing awe.
The Merope nebula was underwhelming tbh. The witches head was much more like it. Orion was brilliant, flame nebula was well small but then it is rather. The horses head was stunning!
Trying to hop over to the sea gull now. But just hit an empty expanse that I can't bridge as I don't have a 65ly jump range. Do I keep trying to work my way to it and then the Rossette or turn back to find out what 1.4 is all about... ?

This is my second real nebula I've visited. Cat Paws was a part goal on my first exploration trip. Next up is NGC 6375. After that, it's straight on to Sagittarius A. Then hopefully continue on the other side depending on my ships status.

My Orca is actually parked inside NGC 6357 right now, in the blue bit. It was a bit of a detour but I wanted to see what it looked like from inside

This is the real reason to explore. Not for money, but to see what the galaxy looks like from over 'there', and what this nebula looks like from within.

Exactly why I wanted to start exploring. Only been out there for a few weeks. I have tagged a couple of water worlds and one ELW.

And it's kinda exciting to see systems that no one has ever seen before, despite the fact that they are virtual worlds constructed by an algorithm.

Will be checking out Kitty Paws and a few other nebs on my return trip from Sag A.
She looks like a sweetie.

Does SweetFX make any difference to this perhaps?

I'd say use Reshade instead. The box bloom does wonders for nebulas such as the Cat paw.

Edit: I have my trusty DBX parked in there and I could post screenies with and without the injector.
