Greetings Commanders
I've finally returned from the Distant Worlds expedition. The good ship 'Delicate Sound of Blunder' performed beyond expectations and is now safely docked in the bubble. But my journey home has ended up being a bit more than just heading straight for the bubble. On my way back, I decided to head out as far west as I could, based on Sagittarius A*. As I left, I thought, 'you know what? Let's do it!'.
So, I've returned to the bubble by visiting every Cardinal point in the galaxy based on Sagittarius A* being the central point
This includes above and below Sag A*, as well as north, south, east and west. My self imposed rules were to head out to all points of the compass, but to head out there from the direction of Sag A*. No passing along the outer arms and no Jumponium (just the 32.4LY range of my armed Explorerconda). As a result, I know that other Commanders will get further out than I did, and that some probably already have (at least on the northern, eastern and southern cardinal points). Also, this journey wasn't exactly planned, so I've not taken massive amounts of screenies. Also, the journey to east and south were a bit rushed (if you can call 2 months rushing!) due to real life kicking in. And the coffee machine ran out after the western Cardinal point
I have opened up my EDSM.net account for public perusal, including full flight map and all flight logs

Ringed Erath Like orbiting a ringed Class III gas giant at Tyriedgae ZJ-I d9-3
And a few snaps from the album
Thanks to everyone involved in the Distant Worlds project for giving me the confidence to do this, and for keeping me sane on the looooong legs between the cardinal points. Space Madness nearly set in on many occasions, but just seeing the little green icons of my fellow Explorers winding their own ways back to the bubble helped a lot
