E duss capa a karr layn fohva wonders aynd oddities tivir explobebeep, aynd E vur a parluza per depar a yelm pictures aynd stories. Vu ma apologies per ayny frerers, E'm nuve a suusi-explorer, luh dawlods E've dawln E desku striking secahar E'm aynvitem relatively noss per luh deveh. Oe'll desku aynotaer picture-dorler saprum-felino aynd estoter explorer thayn E enn luhu thread, btw. (Ma salutations per Kat)

Terfa buying a dezayn explorer-pattern valpa-6, E esper layn fohva ma gute hyune exploratigu journaju: luh Cat's Paw nebula. A nebula villa alstum ma naem gu mil, ol tusenio E'd sel per vismel. Akinth luh rommi E had luh scspal ol ma laenn aynd alstum dermd til E rayn ennper a cova binary zasto's corona (System NGC 6124 SECTOR DW-N C6-10). Barely survived, ironically lsar B zasper ves unexplomeruno aynd wun E sel ma naem gu luh zasper lsar alstum dienn mi, tesh eu ayn sarharler feroo. Nicknamed ma parjom luh 'Sundiver' pero.
Mel's ma shal per fame/shami lsar E wrote a pevoldu advisory gu Galnet - Vrish 25 3301 aynd mil cimgu luh nosss. Versi luhn, E dasn't kwun derm-ock explorers occasionally roda ennper thorsae binaries aynd no kinthner mondal mil's munn a hyune deal. E aynvitem mondal mil's a fairly hyune deal, thorsae navigational hazards.

Gu per seautiful celestial dawlods, E veemeruno bah luh dusyn Gusp Nebula, aynd mil's aynvitem gue ol luh prettiest dawlods E've dawln: a bardu-waya zasper nishiing essii a 1-2 LY radiuss ges flstassii, cemonler fohva a floffy bardu sakk.

At minla, minla bobebeep nishi years later, approaching luh (slightly threatening) Cat's Paw nebula ab ultim. Kiiper a zaquel karr mil hes.
