Updated info on Neutron stars and black holes please

Ok I'm hanging around Sol as 1.4 is coming however at some point I plan on doing neutrons and black holes. I've read a couple of threads saying they start around 10K ly out but the best fields are 18K out. Could someone update me on this info and point me in the best direction please :)

I'm planning on doing a quick honk and jump there only stopping for earth likes then spending a good 12 hour day there and coming back. I've discovered lots of other things and got my name first on a lot of systems and unique things but I'd like to put my name on some stars and holes!

Essentially you head to SagA* and about 22KLY out you head up / down for about 1KLY and you'll hit the doughnut. That's basically it.

There's a field of only a few million neutrons & BH's about 16ly from Sol. Just head towards Sag A* again in a pretty straight line, about 1000-1400 ly down. In the galactic map filter on non-sequence stars only, zoom out and then pan around a bit, when you get lots of dots near your cursor, that's the field.

There are surprisingly many ELW around neutron stars, which is a bit weird because they'd be pretty un-Earth-like places to live. If you get into a rhythm you should be scanning a neutron at pretty much exactly 1 per minute. You may find yourself ignoring ELW candidates, because in the time it takes to fly to and scan a candidate you could have scanned 5 neutrons for much more money. Just all depends if you want to farm for credits, or discover brave new worlds. Some see the neutron fields as a degrading pursuit, but it's identical to farming a RES or CZ for combat kills, or milking a 1-hop 3000Cr/ton trading route. Play the game how you want to play it.

I've done about a months exploring visiting the nebulas! I like profit but it's all about getting my name first on star systems! I'll be checking out neutrons soon thanks for the info!

The Neutron Fields in the above-noted locations do have a huge concentration of them, but at around +/-1100 you'll actually start running into increased numbers of them much sooner than that. I was finding them within a few jumps of each other as early as 10-12 kylie out from the bubble, and more sparsely a lot earlier. I found they made good waypoints--set a course for the next one I could find, then grab whichever ones I could see until there weren't any more within a few jumps, then scan ahead and plot another course to the next one.

I've been out west along the galactic arm. Found two Neutrons about 5k out. One was next to a nebula so it was already scanned. The other wasn't scanned so I'm hoping it will have my tag on it shortly :)
