CNE Pyurks ELW

Not long after leaving WP7, I discovered an Earth-Like World Pyurks EW-C d43 B 4.

There were two Water Worlds too.

CNE WP7

The pace picked up for the next waypoint. A bit over 2,000Ly from the previous waypoint, WP7 "Lizard Point" was on Rosette Sector HW-W c1-3 A 2 c at 45.66/174.21.

The Rosette Nebula was clearly visible over the meetup site.

Lizard Point

Normally moons orbit in line with rings (if present). The meetup moon is on quite an inclined orbit.

CNE WP6

WP6 "Rex's Folly" was on Seagull Sector MX-U c2-3 9 a at 0.35/133.74.

Barnard's Loop is getting smaller...

The Seagull Nebula is close by, but not visible at the time of the meet.

CNE WP5

WP5 "Camp Thor" was on ALS 299 6 d at -35.54/161.37. This site has a good view of Thor's Helmut Nebula.

The meetup was the next night.

Quite a few commanders turned up. SRV headlight beams look really good in the dark.

CNE WP4

WP4 in the 2MASS J06410581+0952478 system was cancelled due to it being surrounded by permit-locked systems added since the expedition was originally planned.

On the way to WP5, I found a great view of some rings, I think the system was Oochoxt JV-F b30-0, and the view is most likely of body "AB 4" from "AB 4 a".

CNE WP3

The WP3 "Bluff Point" meetup was scheduled the night before I arrived. It was on Trapezium Sector DQ-X c1-9 12 a at 14.0/143.6.

Barnard's Loop is very close here.

The nearby gas giant looked like a giant marble ready to roll down the canyon.

CNE Witch Head Nebula

I stopped for the night on Witch Head Sector DL-Y d26 2 a.

Approaching a crater

The Witch Head Nebula was very close and large in the sky.

The meetup is supposed to be tonight, but I'm not going to make it.

CNE WP2

Another day, another waypoint. WP2 "The BFG (Big Fiery Giant)" was on Betelgeuse 2 at 69.68/72.91.

Betelgeuse

Betelgeuse is a red super-giant, and has planets that orbit quite close to it. Not as close as Skardee, but close enough!

CNE WP1

The WP1 "Barnacle Bluff" meetup was just one day later. I left quite late in the day, but it was only a few jumps and I arrived less than an hour later on Merope 5 c at -26.34/156.40.

Late in my day is still very early for Europe, so there was almost nobody there. The ringed gas giant in the sky provided some interest while I waited.

Eventually others turned up and we gathered around the green glowing barnacle.

CNE WP0

The Crab Nebula Expedition kicked off on 11 June at Mitterand Hollow at 56.20/121.77 "Journeys Beginning".

Mitterand Hollow

I was not long back from Distant Worlds and was feeling a little burned out, but I'd signed up and so felt obliged to make the effort. One thing to encourage me was the fact that I was 92% Pioneer in exploration and needed just 8% more to make Elite.

My return from Distant Worlds coincided with the introduction of the Engineers. Selling my exploration data allowed me to immediately max out my reputation to grade 5 with Felicity Farseer and to grade 4 with Elivra Martuuk. Either of those ladies are good for a maximum increased range on the FSD.

I waited for a little while on the morning after the official meetup to see if anyone else might turn up, and an Imperial Eagle arrived.
