This afternoon, I visited Sagittarius A* and witnessed how incredible it was. I just stopped answering say there a while just having at it through my canopy.

Upon planning my next route to the next waypoint, I almost forgot to visit the new station at Explorers Anchorage. It was good to see once I arrived. I'll be stationed here for the night.

I made it to Armstrong Landing in record time for me. I was careful of those neutron stars. Not sure I'll ever be comfortable using that for my FSD boost, but at least I have a procedure I follow to reduce my risk.

So I eagerly entered the Stuemeae KM-W C1-342 system and thought I would find Sagittarius A, but I must have somehow missed it, even though the basecamp is closest to it. I'll look for it when I leave for Waypoint 8.

Made it to waypoint 6, Dryau Ausms KG-Y e3390 which was in a canyon under a bright sky full of stars. I stayed only long enough to gather some materials including Vanadium which I've been looking for everywhere in case I need to synthesize additional AMFU refills. I'd rather have it than not.

Since repairs at Polo Harbor, I've started using neutron stars again for reducing my time of arrival. I just have to be careful.

As I approached my next waypoint, I could see the stars becoming more dense across the sky. Upon entering orbit, I was pleasantly surprised and thankful there is an operational station at Polo Harbor where I was able to not only get full repairs, but also restock my heat sinks and my AMFU.

Tonight I’ll rest up and will continue on my journey in the morning.

Yesterday I made it to waypoint 3 of my journey at the Conflux Abandoned Settlement in the Pru Aescs NC-M D7-192 system. It's the first time since leaving the bubble that I saw some sign of civilization. The terrain was rocky, and I drove around looking for minerals to mine, but nothing of value for me. I realized I would need to find Phospherous and Sulfur to synth more SRV fuel and ammo. Good thing I'm thinking in advanced.

Today, I left to start my journey on waypoint 4. This was a little longer of a trip at just over 4000 LY, but I did stop a bit for some exploring. I found two moons and a ringed gas giant so close to each other, it made for some beautiful scenery. I did manage to find the Phosperous and Sulfur I needed, so I can relax that I won't get stranded in my SRV.

After reaching waypoint 4 at Shepard Shallows in Clooku EW-Y C3-197, this was also a stunning place to stop. I think I'll camp here for the night.

So the first part of my journey was an exciting, but stressful one. Using the Neutron Highway, I got a great start. There was one point, I though I was going to die, when moving towards the star's cone I came out of supercruise. I quickly remembered a procedure I heard for best chances for survival and popped a few heatsinks while I looked for a close star to jump to. This kept my systems cool enough while I was able to jump out of there.

I continued on after doing a few repairs, and the last 5 jumps I did without the neutron stars. I made it to the next waypoint yesterday at Omega Sector VE-Q b5-15, Geosite 5.

The planet had some wonderful canyon features. I did roll around in my SRV for a little while, but remembered I cannot stay long if I'm to catch up with the rest of the fleet. Got some sleep, and now I'm already half way to the next waypoint.

I decided now is the time to get out and try to catch up with the fleet. I'm not going to short cut directly to them. I want to hit all the waypoints on the journey.

Stayed overnight at Palleni, then made my first jet cone boosted jump. Will take the neutron highway to get to each waypoint a little quicker.

I didn't quite get half the jumps in required, but settled on a moon for the night. It's in the system Bleia Eohn KM-C d62.
