In the Conduit

I'm halfway through the Conduit, due north towards the Formorian Frontier.I was about to give up on hoping to come across interesting finds, when I started scanning a throve of Water Worlds, Amonia worlds and Earth-Likes.
Some were ringed, some had life forms, and all in all they all made this sector the most interesting of the ones I've explored so far.
At some point, I have to admit, I got distracted and fell into the graviyt well of an Earth-Like, dropping out of super cruise.
Luckily I wasn't speeding, so no harm done.
Even more luckily, I dropped right on the terminator, which allowed me to to take this nice shot.
For the first time in this trip I also detected some bio signals.
A gas giant orbiting the second star in the system had as many as five satellites with bio signals.
It took a 244000 light seconds trip to get there, but no good explorer would leave those unexplored.
As expected, they were fairly common Crystalline Shards. No ground breaking discovery there, but at least I filled up my cargo with high grade materials.
Also the views from the rocks were not too shabby.
I still have about 7000 light years before I get out of the Conduit, I hope I'll find more of these.
