I have been inspired to share some of what I'm discovering in the depths of the galaxy. Disclaimer: I don't claim to have discovered anything new, I just want to share with others some of the beauty of what is out there. Thanks to Cmdr Pete and the Flickr group he set up for helping me figure out how to take and share some good screen shots, as well as the rest of the community for chipping in 
Most of today's images are from the Ardiaei System which is not beyond the borders of humanity. If you wish to explore it yourself then spoiler alert on the images below! Hopefully they have uploaded okay and I have the resolution right so you can see them.
LATEST ADVENTURE. IMAGES FROM MELIAE and SHEELA NA GIG.
Miners of Meliae A
Rings of Sheela Na GIG 2
Eclipse at Sheela Na GIG 1
Star of Sheela Na GIG and Sheela NA GIG 2
Sheela Na GIG 1 with Asteroid Ring

Firstly: Here is an overview of the planet facts most of these images are taken from.
I wanted some images of the asteroids from a close perspective.
Here's another.
I loved this one with the red nebula behind it. I'm no astronomer so I am not sure how to figure out the name of the nebula.
I call this "A view from the mist."
This one I liked for its sweeping view of the horizon.
This one I call "The White Ships."
This one I call "Rings of Light."
And here is an image of Ardiaei 3 from a strange angle
I call this "3rd Rock from the sun." It's the third planet in the system COL 285 Sec EJ-N B21-8

Edit - adding in some image taking tips I learned from the Flickr group I am in.
1. Find an image you want to take a screen shot of
2. If you want, go to solo to allow you to take a high res image
3. Drop out of Super Cruise
4. Manouver your vessel so you can see the image angle from the view port with the biggest view
5. Press SHIFT - ALT - G to blank out the GUI
6. Press ALT F10 if you're in solo mode and get the high res shot
7. Turn your BMP image into a JPG - this can be done online or through paint or online with something like Zamzar
8. Why not join a group such as The First Great Expedition or the group started here on Flckr https://www.flickr.com/groups/elite_dangerous/ and post your image there as well
