(And yes, I missed that meetup again, too. But the scenery did impress me, anyway.)

Approaching the Planet:
Nowhere to land at the coordinates:
Had to find a different spot:
Let's go explore:
A bit dark, bit the sky...
... has some nice surprises:
Somehow, this picture looks to me as if it could have been taken on Earth just as well:
Anyway: could not go back to my ship directly (to steep, to much ice), so I was looking about an hour for a way around; had to go quite a long way and approach my ship from above:

Waypoint 8:
Some wreckage at the Waypoint:
An Imperial Courier facing of with my Eagle.
A bit odd that the Hull-mass of the Courier is only 35 tons as opposed to the 50 tons of my Eagle...
A last impression befor lifting of:

It has been fun; thanks again to all those who organised this event!

About to depart...

Would have joined but a tumor in my back is what stopped me at Sagittarius A* with the Distant World's expedition, hope I make the next run though.
Best of wishes on your recovery! We will be back next year for another round of small worlds, and about to introduce our upcoming expedition this week, so keep an eye out if you're looking to join us on another fun one!
Back in June before I joined Crab Nebula Expedition the most I had ever explored was Betelgeuse, and making my way to Maia.
Yep. That was exploring for me. So much so, that I even took an AFMU with me in case I took damage haha!
With the high range ships of today, "exploration" at distance is much more easy! The hard part, is keeping interest.
But that's what's fun about large group expeditions. You get to make friends, hang out and actual chat with random people. Good times are always had; no matter the distance from Sol.
