Massive Nebulae Excursion, Days 10 through 12

Lately I haven't put as much time into Elite as I had been, but I did do a few small spurts here and there, so I figured that I would post an update, despite not having done much of note.After visiting the NGC 6820 nebula, I found myself pondering where to go next. I had narrowed down the list of potential destinations to one that I had previously bookmarked (Prai Hypoo AA-A H-60) and one roughly an equal distance away (Flyiedgai AA-A H50). Since I hadn't decided which one to go to, and both are a long distance from NGC 6820, I decided to plot a course roughly in the middle while I weigh the pros and cons of each.
After going a fair way, I stumbled on an undiscovered neutron star. As a bonus, I could scan the entire system from the entry point, so I didn't even have to move to get it all! Gonna get some nice cash for that one when I hit Colonia, that's for sure!
After the neutron star, I studied the map a bit more and decided that, even though my initial plan was to hit Prai Hypoo AA-A H-60, I feel like going to Flyiedgai AA-A H50 presents more opportunities to hit nebulae along the way, giving me shorter hops between waypoints. I then altered course so I could make progress toward it.
All in all, the decision to head in the middle of two nebulae has resulted in a wealth of unscanned systems. Between the neutron star, the many water worlds, and two ammonia worlds, I should be getting a ton of credits...maybe I'll even get the coveted Elite ranking before hitting Sag A!
