'Inhabited Space' is only about 300ly in diameter. When you are 26000+ly away the difference between 2 locations is basically non-existent. Your prospective will change radically during the trip. Before you reach Sag A*, a 1000ly will seem like nothing. I just used Sol or Lave when I wanted a distance reference simply because they are easy to type into the search.
On your way back, just head in the general direction till you are about 2 Kylie from Sol, then use the Galaxy map filtered to economy type to see which is your closest station, it could be anywhere.
Are you seriously proposing using a short Australian as a term of reference equal to 1000 light-years, awesome idea![]()
