Visited Betelgeuse

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Dragun2/screenshot/4208937 The scale of this star blew me away, when I jumped into the system i was a staggering 2,600+ away. Two of the four planets in this system are in the fuel scooping zone. Looking at the planets truly gave it scale as the sun absolutely dwarfs them. I suggest any Cmdr into exploration visit this system if they haven't allready.

A beauty, isn't she? Took my DBX out there a long time ago. 2,500ls away, and you're nearly in fuel scooping range. XD

Sounds cool. I'll make a note to check it out.

Really is, definately in my top list now of things you should see exploring. I now have Sag A, a Wolf Rayet and now Betelgeuse on my list. My next decent trip out will be to the bubble nebula.

I'm jealous. I've known about Betelgeuse for awhile now, but I still haven't been out exploring. I had planned on being an Explorer before I even bought the game, already had an AspE planned for after I got a Cobra...then I bought the game and got caught up in politics/ranking/buying toys. Exploration is now always one lower on the list of priorities than other things. Well, finally got my Duke rank today, that's one more obstacle out of the way before my Beagle Point trip...

Here you go OP, hosted on Imgur for you so you can post it elsewhere with slightly better results.

No, its just a long trek for nothing besides the star.

Now im not trying to burst anyones bubble,and it IS a truly big star to behold, But im saving my very first screen shot for the thargoids or other as yet un-named alien species we will SOON encounter. To be honest im a xbox player who has been waiting since december 2015 to go exploreing

Come on horizons,damn you [wacko]

VY Canis majors is much bigger and not to far from beteljeuse well worth looking at both on the same trip.

I didn't think you could get there !! So cool on my way now

Armholeeio · May 12, 2016

Hordriss · May 12, 2016

I'm looking forward to when Polaris gets unlocked. Don't know why there's probably sod all there, but still.
