Currently about mid-way through my long exploration (started in July playing about 10 hr/wk). I hit Sagittarius A then went full negative Z to see the edge of the black and the galaxy. Mozied my way up to the galactic plane with home at my back still.
I stopped last night in TEQAEA HC-B D1-6060 about 37k ly from populated space. Started my way back following the Perseus arm of our Milky Way. Estimating about 50k ly to go in my Asp with loaded jump range of 33ly and systems still in very good shape. Spotted my first S class star last night and was pretty stoked.
