I am finally taken my time to catch up with my log entries. I actually managed to find my way around in the permit locked areas around Barnards loop and the Horsehead Nebula. The trick here seems to be to manually plot short bits of the route around and through the area as the navigational computer seems to be unable to handle the blocked areas very well. However I managed to get to my next waypoint.
HD 43193 also called Oochorrs Lighthouse. It was an absolutely impressive and humbling experience as this system is a giant amongst star systems.
With one black hole and two neutron stars the system already saw three stars die. The impressive amount of mass that was involved in the creation of this system led to the formation of a quantity of brown dwarfs that are orbited by massive gas giants. A type A main sequence star is probable one of the youngest bodies in the system. The whole experience was wonderful and made me feel very very small.
I tried to capture some of my impressions in the following video:
