Explorer Taxi Driver needing some plotting help

So I took on this rather easy looking 32mil taxi mission but found out that the Nebula that this famous explore wants to go see is out in the middle of no where... I dont know how easy it would be for someone to figure out a plot course for me and I really am not expecting anyone too but I guess I really just need some tips or tricks on the best way to plotting a star by star course. Although it says it right there, star by star.

Nebula: HEN 2-23
Current: WREGEIA SN-B D3
Jump Range: 32.88LY(35.43LY)
Still dont know how to actually get my ship to jump that LY in () so why does it even show up??

I really just want to know if its at all possible for me to even get to the end point or if I should just give up and go back and start doing missions towards FSD upgrades like I should have been doing before venturing out on "easy" taxi missions.

What I have been doing so far is going into Galaxy mode and plotting short courses that lead somewhat towards the main goal but by doing that I have been having to back track, travel even further away and then back around, flip a pancake behind my head with my eyes closed and have it land on a plate, exit galaxy mode, stare at the screen, go back into galaxy mode and re plot something completely different... This sucks. Wish I had more practice doing this plotting business before setting out on this impossible mission. At least I have 2 weeks to complete this mission. Will it even be worth 32 mil to me by then. Probably not.

Thanks for any tips/ help anyone gives me.

I've actually gone back into Galaxy view and have decided that this mission is impossible with my current FSD and I dont see how its even possible with out atleast an FSD range of 40-50LY. Im definitely not an expert at this game but I have played it long enough to know my limits in my ASP X and those systems surrounding the Nebula end point are still too far away from it for a simple jump. No idea how to get to it but I have learned my lesson and am going back to start working on those FSD upgrades.

Next question: Which engineer should I start with for the best FSD upgrades?

There might be a way in with your range, it just might not be obvious. If you have plenty of FSD boosts, that could help.

Otherwise, Felicity Farseer and Elvira Martuuk are your engineers for FSD.

Alternatively you could have used jumponium.

Regarding the engineers I unlocked Farseer because she's close to my home system.
