Any clue which cluster this may be?

Postby Tojo » Mon Oct 31, 2016 12:02 pm

Hi Commanders,

i'm on an exploration some 2200 LYs out to the west, heading towards the cave nebula. And since a while i'm spotting a tight cluster of stars when in system view, almost in the same direction (i.e. to west +- some 5 degrees). Unfortunately i cannot find such a cluster in the direction i assume it to be when in the galaxy map, even if i switch to realist view.

Any hints?


thx + fly safe

Search for S171 and you will find a cluster of O Types with a Lot of Black Holes.

Great, thanks a lot for the fast replies. Found it on the galaxy map (just ~ 750 LYs to go) and marked it as next target :-)

Yep, it should be this nebula. If you can see it directly from your cocpit, target should be max 1000ly from your position.
