	449	PHEIA AEWSY PW-N D6-11	27.00	DETAIL	A6 appears to be a ringed water type world. Very cool. Possible moons around A2 as well. The moons were just pretty rocks. with 100% water atmosphere. A6 on the other hand was indeed a ringed water-world but wth NO atmosphere. Not the sci-fi worlds I was hoping for.	WBL	TWW					0110, 0111, 0112	Not the sci-fi world I was hoping for. But this second one was close. Inside the "potatoe belt".

	432	PHEIA AEWSY JB-F D11-25	33.70		As I look at the Galaxy Map it appears that I have cross the width of the Perseus Arm. So a choice lies before me. Should I turn around and go home. No not likely. Turning right would take along the Perseus Arm to the galactic core. Turning right would take me to the end of the arm. Neither appeals to me at the moment. That leaves forward... to the rim.
	431	PHEIA AEWSY AP-G C24-0	29.40	DETAIL	NEW SECTOR

Today I crossed what little (relatively) space was left in the Perseus arm and took my first jumps into the Outer Rim. It was choice not lightly made.  I have been gone 17 days and my impromptu mission to see the small nebulas is complete.  The choice not to visit the Rosetta nebula may vex me at a later date.  I had intended on visiting the Rose on my return trip to SOL.  But I am so close to the galactic edge that I feel the need to move forward not backward. I need to see the inky black of intergalactic space. When I reach the edge I will be presented with another choice. I'm not sure what I'll do.
