Have all nebulas been discovered?

Last night I spotted a small nebula approx 1200LY off track from where I was, so of course I had to visit.
I knew that I wouldn't be first, but still had a small "too bad" moment when in fact, the 2 star nebula had already been discovered.
Props to the CMDR who left the 2nd star undiscovered for someone else to claim.
 
I have reason to beleive all full sized nebulae have been discovered by now. I certainly found traces of life in most of the distant nebulae when I crossed the galaxy and on the occaision I didn't see tags I suspect I just didn't search enough systems to find where the first discover(s) had been.

Planetary nebula are still up for grabs though. All the ones I discovered on that trip were vacant.
 
Of course, if there are nebulae that we haven't discovered we wouldn't know that in order to correctly answer the question...

I would expect such a nebula would need to be very difficult to spot in the galaxy map.

EOCK PRAU nebula had only about 10% of its systems discovered when I flew through it, so likely not.

There seem to be plenty of planetary nebula as well, just gotta find them.
 
Have to ask what's the difference between the 2 in ED?
Small and not viewable until very close?
Something else?


Planetary Nebula are single-system it seems, whereas regular nebula span many systems. I found a couple planetaries by accident when scrolling along a plotted route and finding a slight glow about the system.
 
Ah, ok, so in fact last night I presume I found a planetary nebula, as it contained only 1 neutron, and 1 regular type star.
 
Just left a nebula 35000ly from Sol that didn't seem to have had any visitors. Its the second on my current voyage. At least the systems within it that I visited hadn't any tags. :)

Nice! guess I'm just not far out enough. (6K LY away form saggy, on the left).
There has to be plenty of interesting stuff on the far side of saggy a**

I was able to tag few Ms inside the Trifid 1 month ago. Also Many randomly genrated hasn't been extensively tagged. But yes, Nebulae are those spots you see in the distance, i think it's natural for everyone to go have a look. To my experience there's at least one ELW inside every nebulae, to tag one of those is good. I made it in the Bleae Aescs, but all the ELW inside "real" nebulae seems to be tagged. The Orion Complex, the Lagoon and the Eagle seems to be the most visited, it's difficult to find something untouched in these sectors themselves.
