Heart Nebula exploration mission diary - Day 5

The trip proceeds without problems, so far.I decided I'm not so interested in mapping everything, I want to look for interesting geological or biological sites and some nice view of the galaxy.
The Heart nebula started to be clearly visible a couple of hours ago, even from the planets:
I already decided I'll do a little detour in a few hundreds LY from here, to go visit an interesting twin terrestrial sites I've read about. It's just one jump off-route, so really no issues.
On a sidenote, I should be more wary when I fly without shields to save power.
I have to remember to switch them back on when I try to land... fortunately, was a 0.05g planet, so just some scratch. Could have been much worse, like when I struck head-on the tourist beacon a few jumps ago. Had to launch my limpets to repair a hole in the hull. No good.
