Took an age to find Cygnus X-1 (Cygni X-1) but after doing some research on the interweb I decided to head off in my trusty ship the Rocinante in the direction of V1357 Cygni.
I knew I wouldn't be the first to discover it but I have now at least scanned it and returned to sell my findings.
Made nearly 11 million for my journey and found several Earth types and quite a few Water Worlds :)

- 262K surface temp [I must say that FD has this all screwy, because I suspect that 11 deg F is not going to have lots of free flowing water. It's a bit cold actually. Needs about 295K]

That'll be some kind of average temperature - it could be a largely icy world with some warmer regions where there is liquid water, or even a barren tundra planet with all the life being sub-surface and bacterial - so long as there's enough of it and it's metabolic by products are enough to keep the atmosphere human breathable then I think that counts as Earth like, even if it wouldn't be a particularly warm place to live...

Perhaps you're right. Sure looks more hospitable in the image. Course, a couple hundred years of burning coal will fix it. The WW by the way is top right of the star. I tried to find an angle that illuminated both but failed.

I keep looking around in the SYNUEFE area and there are at least 4 if not 6 ELW around 200LY from each other here. I'd really like to see some expansion of stations down here.

So yesterday I started my latest expedition, no real objectives, just travel around for a week or twelve and see what I find.

19 jumps out from my starting location, about 650ly from Sol, I find the following system, totally unclaimed with three lovely water worlds, one of which is a CFT. I'm not giving the system name up until I get home again in case of claim jumpers!

The Asp has landed!

Not a very spectacular picture, but I have just landed after about two months in deep space... While this trip didn't take me more than about 18kLY from Sol, it meandered about quite a bit..
Pleiades --> Barnard's Loop --> VY Canis Majoris --> Edgewards --> Mucking about --> Heart & Soul --> Edgewards -- > Mucking about -->Bubble Nebula --> Cave Nebula --> Home!

Now to party at the Cratographer's office! :D

Congrats, Commander - hope Universal Cartogaphics rewards you richly for your troubles :)
