End of the Road in Xibalba

Navigating through the Vacuum was a breeze, thanks to the fact that I could retrace the steps from my first crossing. Stars were sparse, but not having to look for a viable body every jump surely helped.Once I found myself in a spot with a decent star density I turned East and explored the part of Kepler's Crest I had neglected during my first trip.
I found a few interesting planets, but systems in the outer arms tend to be less prone to surprises.
I am now in Xibalba, in fact I'm almost at the end of the Arm. I could have travelled to its very end, which is about 3000 light years from my position.
Truth is, this space is tricky. The stars are VERY rare already, and starting to use FSD boosts at this distance means that I would have to stop several times to look for materials.
Considering that getting to the far end was not the goal of my trip - and I'm not particularly bothered at the moment - I decided that this is as far as I go.
I'm sure I'll regret this, but what the hell, I'm travel weary.
Long story short, I've turned my ship around and I'm finally going home.
In the meantime, here's some eye candy from a place far, far away.
