Revisiting BOEPP UE-Q E5-2104

After over two years of contemplating a trip to revisit this lovely system, I took a passenger mission to Celestial Snowman, so BOEPP was kinda almost on the way. Decided to pop over. Streamed the whole arrival (for 0 viewers) - here's a short video of my comeback: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/175419373

I spent the whole morning jumping to get here, now I'm gonna leave the stream open (warning: no quality options, ~6500kbps bitrate, will be problematic for low-end internet connections) with fancy external camera view if someone wants to check out the movement of those stars (meanwhile I go afk, I have stuff to do). You can really see the gas giant orbiting by eye, its orbital period about 15 minutes or so, and even the protostars revolve quite rapidly around each other (I think every few hours)

Enjoy, and come visit yourselves :)
 
Yeah, the stars had turned around while I was away, I repositioned the ship for a better vantage point now. Plus added a label. Plus cowardly switched from open play to solo play (not sure if my instance (ie. low wake) would be even visible to anyone coming to the system afterwards, though, but better safe than sorry)

Anyway, going to afk some more, stream is still going (talk about waste of resources btw :D)
 
Eerie and fascinating to see the movement of the smaller star & planet orbiting it.

Took a screenie of the stream, partial eclipse within partial eclipse:
