Need help plotting a course manually.

How does one do this? I'm trying to get to HIP 36601 from the bug killer and auto plot says the limit is exceeded. I hve 49.76 jump range

There are 3 ways to plot a course excluding external mods.
1) economy mode. The one you use if your not in a rush wanna save fuel and see alot more as each jump is tiny.
2) fsd boost. This you see has a slider 1 2 3. 3 is max jump boost. Between just 2 points not a course. You will need mats jumponium for it.
3) fast travel. This is popular and the mainstay of travel.
3b) neutronhighway. Use neutron stars to boost each jump even further than fsd boost and its free no mats required. Does damage fsd drive though. Don't go below 80%. Bring along a afmu to repair fsd as you go. You can also use white dwarfs but they have big exclusion zones which if you wander into will fry you for sure. They don't have the massive range a neutron jump has.
Hope this helps.

Please watch a video about neutron jumping. Its easy once you done it a few times. But the first few can be daunting.. make sure you have heatsinks fitted and ready to pop ASAP.

Damn sounds complicated. How does fast travel work?

You may have economic route plotting selected, its max route plot distance is 1,000ly, go to galaxy map route plotter and select fastest from the radio button options and try again.

Ok so any of the type of ways I select to get there, it still will not allow me to plot a course. So how do I get there?

EDIT nvm. I went back to my screen and now its plotting the course

Then plot part way distance until you figure out where the problem is. You aren't supplying enough into for us to tell, it may simply be that a jump on the route you are trying to plot is to long for your ship, you aren't giving us much to go on.
 
Ok so you are on your way, just keep in mind there are a number of reasons it will refuse to plot, the wrong setting in the map plotter, restricted areas between you and your destination, simply making a mistake in the galaxy map and accidently selecting the desitantion as a target instead of using "plot route" (I still do that myself occasionally), plotting a route before loading cargo and etc. You just need to have patience and go through everything carefully to find where the problem is, and always feel free to come here and ask for help.
 
from what little info the OP gave us in the 1st post, it seemed they had set the next jump target direct to HIP 36601 instead of using the route plotter, that would bring up the exceeded limit warning.

It should be enough jump range
Just make sure you plot the route from the ship and after you plot the route you don't load any cargo or do any changes that might result in lower jump ranges - else you will have to replot
