Mecha's Nebula Run!

I will be flying a nebula run between the nebulae of:
Witch head
Orion
Running man
Flame
Bernard's loop
Horse head
Hubble's Variable (Thanks to nr.)
Seagull
Rosette
Jellyfish
Monkey head
Soul
Heart
NGC 281
NGC 7882
Cave
Elephant's trunk
Pelican
North america
Sadr
Veil
California.
(fitting in the Bubble nebula somewhere :3)

The general trip track will, hopefully, look like this.

*WOW GIANT PICTURE*

I will be flying through the center most of each nebula to show the best view of each.

If you would like to follow how far along the trip I am, then I will be posting pictures daily on a facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/864578793614932/ .

Is there anything you see along the path in your galaxy view that you want me to fly through while I am out there?
Are there specific types of planets, or stars you want me to take pictures of?
Anything else you want to see that I didn't ask about? Feel free to speak up!

I would be glad to add more nebulae to my list if you find another along that general path.

While you're out that way, have a look at Hubble's Variable Nebula. It's not that, um, variable. But if you're out that way, it'd be rude to miss it, and it does seem to get overlooked a bit. And on the way drop in on KY Monocerotis A - a whacking great carbon star.
 
I'd advice when taking pictures of nebulae to also take them while you're outside of them for reference, so you can actually see the shape. When you're inside, you'll have the pretty colours but not the outlines.

I'm at Barnie's Loop at the moment. I'll honk if you happen to pass me by :)
 
Oh, I just headed past Barnard's last night, on my way back in. Would have waved if I'd seen you. Still, it's a big galaxy. What are the chances. "of all the systems, in all the nebulae, in all the sectors..."
 
While you're at the rosette nebula, you might just pop-up to HYPOAE AIHM II-Q D6-0
A pair of earth-likes orbiting eacother not very far from the nebula.

I'll be sure to pop on by there to see that. Not every day a pilot gets to see something that different. :p

You know, I have been looking for a carbon type star for a long time, and that may just be the opportunity I have been looking for! Plus it is on my path to Seagull, since I just left Barnard's Loop. Thanks :D
