Any tips y'all may have would be lovely.
Never gone exploring before

First one was pretty close to the bubble, (sorry for the secrecy but I'd at least like a minimal chance at getting my name among the stars)
Now moving onwards to roughly the galactic east

Turn on your headlights.
What's your ship & loadout?
ADS & DSS are essential IMHO, so is at least 1 SRV
AFMU if you have room.
Ok got you.
Well, take a route that is not direct or go off in the +z or-z axis for the best chance at in discovered systems. My guess is those have been hit a bunch so it may take looking for an undiscovered system.
Tips:
Scoop red dwarf stars from the side. It is easier to control staying out of its exclusion zone.
Don't stop at unidentified signals near the star. It will cause damage trying jump out that close to a star.
Turn off anything non essential, if you do get pulled out by a star. It will keep you temp. As low as possible and minimize damage.
Make sure you have the best scanners you can afford to make the trip as productive as possible.
Neutron stars are misleading because of their tiny size they will look like a planet but because of their mass they still have a star sized exclusion zone. You need to keep your approach speed way down to be safe. Inside of 10ls and pay attention.
Enjoy, Enjoy, and Enjoy.
I'm still out on my first trip. Loving the experience.

Have all those minus an AFMU

Noted.
Also, found a few planets some CMDR missed, moving on and loving the peace of not doing squat.

Honestly, even though the views arent too spectacular, I'm digging it.
Might hit a nebula after work.
Thanks goemon
I forgot. There are some systems that have multpile stars and they orbit very close. You need to get clear of those bad boys quickly by climbing above or diving below so you aren't taking heat from both at the same time. It can get real abusive real fast.
