Faound a cluster of giants, need help to get there

cluster.jpg

can you see that cluster of bright star near the Rosette Nebula?
I can see it from cockpit from several system but can't find it on gal map.
Are they immersed between thousands of less bright stars?
Any hint how to get there?
 
you are in the best position to find out.
Keep your nose pointing in that direction
set route to another system, and see how it compares with B23-2
then try another, etc.
If you can't target it then you were right and they are far away

Cool thanks. Indeed they are above the nebula, got 1, red supergiant, heading there. But they are immersed in thousands of dwarves.

DAMN DAMN DAMN, every other second i spot interesting things and i can't push further.
Can i please have a boring string of M class with icy planets so i can progress something?
This game...

Hey Akira, I just took a look at it in galmap, there appears to be a nice open cluster just trailing, and rimward of the rosette, turn off everything but A and O type stars and search for HD 258691, I believe that is the cluster you are looking for.

Super you are the one!!!!! can i give you more rep?
 
You can use guide posts like the Magellanic Clouds, the Andromeda Galaxy, or any of the nearby nebulae or dust clouds. All of these landmarks also appear in a similar way on the Galactic Map.

But his thread brings up a missing interface in the game: we really need a celestial sphere interface from the cockpit so you can pick interesting things in the distance and actually map a route to them on your nav computer.

Completly agree, targeting stars from cockpit how far they are but with enoug luminosity for us to see with naked eye. That would be briliant addition
 
+1 to ziljan. I would see it as an external device to set on a ship, called a 'telescope' Gives us a chance to zoom, and it giving the name/distance of what's targeted. Wouldn't that be lovely?

This post contains 100% truth.

I can't imagine a better tool for exploring :) And if they could work that into our scanners so they could be used on nearby planets... that would be a huge gameplay boost for exploring.
 
If you are looking for some interesting stuff near rosetta ;

There is an enormous white dwarf/neutron field at the buttom and the top of the galaxy relative to rosetta, there even is a twin earthlike there somewhere (claimed by me, but still awesome to look at) will earn you ALOT of credits if you decide to scan 'em all.
 
Agreed. Its a pain when you see something interesting and have to select every jump range system just to see which one is the same direction so you an switch to the galaxy map to try and work out what it is.

Oh my, already left. I don't mind scanning already tagged objects, would have loved to visit your double ELW system. I don't care for credits but a white dwarf/neutron star field would have been interesting.
But now I'm 1000Ly north the perseus arm.
Well, another thing to add to the to do list, i don't mind going back to place either, have been to Seagull 4 times already.

I see, next time you're near, the system name for the double earthlikes is ; HYPOAE AIHM II-Q D6-0
