Good looking places 1000ly around Sol? [Advice needed]

[Tom2]

Hey,

I am currently working on a video series for Elite: Dangerous in which I want to show off the games beauty alongside the series story.*

And the currently planned season is supposed to be mostly within the Bubble. So my main question would be:
What are good looking places within 1000ly of Sol you would like to see in an Elite: Dangerous video series?

Only 1kly? Not much... Pleiades?

1000 ly is a pretty low range, but you can find various Points of Interest here.

Some suggestions are:
* Mira
* Y Canum Ventacorum
* Radioactive Green
* Robin's Egg Nebula
* LBN 623 Nebula
* Beta Hydrae
* Fire and Ice
* HIP 12028

The Buckyball Racing Club event 'Nebulocity' covers some local nebulae and asteroid bases that are worth a visit, going as far as the California Nebula which is approximately on your 1000 LY limit ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...r-Long-Range-Ships-Nebulocity-(3-11-June-3303) ). If you extend it to 1200 LY (I think, from Sol), then the Veil West Nebula is unique and spectacular. There is also the close pairing of the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula. In the opposite direction, there is an asteroid base in the Pencil Nebula (New Growth). Nebulae aside, there are other places with visual appeal of different kinds, from ringed Earth-like Worlds within the bubble (e.g. in the systems Osermians and Spocs 900, both have stations orbiting in between the planet and their rings), to unusual orbital arrangements and other oddities, especially Mitterand's Hollow. Here are a couple off the top of my head that might be interesting:
Pareco system: multiple stations orbiting a comet (it's very difficult but possible to drop in on the comet's location but nothing is drawn there yet, so it looks like the stations are orbiting nothing).
Robert Aitken Memorial: a Coriolis station in an extremely low orbit above a gas giant.
Armstrong Platform, Njunmin: an outpost that orbits close to a lava world in a very eccentric orbit.
Azeban Orbital: an outpost in close orbit of an Earth-like World.
Locations with geysers and fumaroles might be worth looking at as well but I'm not familiar with them to know which to recommend.
