New Wheels, New Mission - New Goals?

Life has been a big ol' bag of busy lately. I've finally been out to Hutton Orbital and snapped some photos, crossing that off my list. With that done, I sat back to consider my next move. With close to 200MCr burning a hole in my pocket, I decided to treat myself to an (as yet) un-named Anaconda with a fighter-bay and an SRV hangar so I could head back out into the black and work on gaining my Elite rank in Exploration. I wanted to leave enough funds to replace the ship if the worst should happen and it ended up in pieces so I was left with very few resources with which to install upgraded modules.For instance, the ship has only a C-rated Frame Shift Drive with which to cover the distance to the Nebula. I'm averaging a little over 10LY per jump which will take me roughly 700 jumps to complete. I'm currently just over 2200LY into the trip and expect to arrive at the newly-revealed Asteroid Base located in the Heart Nebula in about a week to ten days. I did start off by scanning every astronomical object in every system I entered but that was starting to get a bit samey. There are a LOT of T-type and Y-type stars in this neck of the woods...
