Where in the galaxy are we?

[hems303]

The outright beauty of Elite Dangerous when out exploring still knocks my socks off even after 6 years!
Can any entrepid explorers identify just where I am at present (Clue: I followed the clump of 'O' Class stars until the target resolved on the galaxy map)
(No prize for correctly identifying the location other than showing your inate explo knowledge!): Well Done CMDR Zieman... see below

Update: The Black Hole S171 23 B in the NGC 7822 Nebula

Horsehead nebula?

 

[Zieman]

The standard answer is: NGC 7822.
Whether that is correct this time, remains to be seen...
Anyway, time for a drink! (coffee for me now, at work )

 

[GlowyHedgehog]

North America nebula?

YOU sir Commander Zieman, certainly know your nebulae!

NGC 7822 is the one!

 

[Zieman]

NGC 7822 is the one

Haha, it always is!

 

[BDelacroix]

I was just there a week ago. A clump of bright stars all labeled s and a number.

Once again, it's time to drink!

Oh Dear.. the intricacies of the thing that is the Elite Dangerous Forum... strike again!

... or put another way.... I didn't know that was a thing... I gotta stop posting entirely... as it's ALL been done before (If you can bloody find it!)

Oh, no, the drinking game has changed over time, as the game has. Entries come and entries go... but NGC 7822 is eternal.

(because Frontier isn't going to change the galaxy)

Heck, I use a picture of the real NGC 7822 as my PC desktop background now.
