I just finished my first expedition to the Orion nebula (originally i wanted to explore Orion then come home but ... well you will see why that didn't happen).
First off this trip was not about scanning systems and making bank, although I did manage to tag a few systems on my way home so that's just a bonus
All the screenshots posted here are 5,910x1,080 pixels (3x22" monitors) and feel free to use them in your own posts/videos/guides/desktop backgrounds/etc.
My ship was an ASP Explorer:
First shot looking back towards home as I hopped further and further away:
Moving towards the witch head nebula with Orion nebula, Barnards loop and Flame nebula in the background:
Up close with the witch head nebula:
I finally learned how to take shoots outside of the ship :
Turning to Orion nebula with Bernards loop surrounding my destination:
Quick rest stop to repair damaged modules and have a play around with the SRV :
Looking back to where I came from:
Looking out further into the unknown:
Where to go? what to do? The plan was simple to start with, go to Orion nebula and do touristy stuff then come home. But a little voice in the back of my mind piped up and said "look at that red thingy, isn't it pretty!" so off i went into Barnards loop:
Then onto horse head:
I then decided that rather going back through all of those nebulas, I would jump behind horse head then travel well up and back over the top and this was the result:
One last look back before starting my journey home:
All in all my first trip out into the unknown was breathtaking and unforgettable.
Here are some links to my albums,
