Nahla Tracker
Live day/night tracker and gallery for Nahla, a remote Elite Dangerous moon.

For my most involved study, I have now made a live tracker for the day/night cycle on Nahla! This will be updated for improved accuracy as I gather more observation data.

Things I didn't think of before on a 1-monitor Linux setup - running a terminal overlay onto my cockpit screen 👾
I can now make journal entries, read text docs, control the computer [well, within reason], and use Google Gemini from the terminal without switching out of Elite 🖥️

Time for a mini excursion - a mere nine jumps away from Nahla to another system found by @nvgg.online - and what a view!
Totally worth it. Will be hanging out here for a few days 🪐

Some facts about Pâte Sablée crater here on Nahla!
- This massive crater is named after a French shortcrust pastry type 👩🍳
- Nahla is 247km in diameter. This was calculated using coords from either side, the moon's radius, and the Haversine formula

It's Halloween so Miley gets a new paint job and a trip to the Red Mountains on the other side of Pâte Sablée crater. Lots of iron around, it's Fe-ntastic [sorry] here.
We've been on Nahla for over four months now. We had trips here and there, but this is still the mainstay!

3.5G landable, let's gooooo and do this will 0% hull loss!! Awesome system with 12 stars [brown dwarfs are still stars, right?]

We're back from Turkey and Miley is right where I left her! She didn't get a parking ticket!
I don't have a viva date yet so I've allowed myself exploration of the nearest sister system with landables.
Welcome to Hypi Bra BT-H b24-1! 5 ly away, three neon ice worlds. I'm spoilt! ❄️

I am going away for two weeks for a post thesis-submission break in Turkey. Miley is safely parked in her crater on Nahla! I may or may not post when I'm away!
My mind will still be on my work... but not quite as much! See you soon, all 🍺

We are back in our base of operations at Pâte Sablée crater! Our usual spot at around 39.2, 104.3. The gas vents and mountains are exactly where we left them!
Miley's new look is striking while also, to me, fitting in. "I am here and part of you" 💜

A rare morning post! Sometimes I forget how many ss's I take. This one is a ringed water world en route to Hope - a space Aerobie 🔘
Later today we'll get settled in our normal base of operations down in Pâte Sablée crater. At 247km across, it's very easy to identify from orbit 🪐

An emotional reunion 🪐
We are back in Hope system, on Nahla, after our break and refitting in DSSA Erikson's Gateway. Everything here is where we left it!
We'll be here for a few months until the PhD viva is over. And what a great please to study in! A lot still to discover 🍺

32 jumps from Hope system now! Soon we will be in our second home for... a long time preparing for PhD viva!
Another stopover en route for tonight in Hypao Broo XG-Z b6 C 4a, the only landable in this system - and I think we found a crater! What a beautiful ice world ❄️

We've got our work cut out for the next round of travel - 68 jumps still to go till arrival at Hope system - but we couldn't resist stopping off for the night at this turquoise ice moon with its deep purple gas giant!

We've left DSSA Erikson's Gateway to go BACK to Hope system, Hypi Bra EV-P d5-78, to stay for a further 8-24 weeks until the PhD viva is over.
1/3 of the way there already. Miley has a different look, and we found this cool planet as a stopover! Haven't identified the flora yet! 🌱

Limpets, pt 2! [sounds like an 80s horror]
Last night's planet-smash was in a 'controlled environment', BUT as @nvgg.online noted, if you're landing A LOT then they're a must!
We tend to land 1-2 a day on planets so they'll be a permanent addition to Miley from now!
Thx to all 🖤

I might be a repair limpet convert.
It's good value for money/weight if you can do it. I smashed Miley into the ground with minimal shields in a safe[ish] location.
Hull at 22%. Only two limpets to take her to 100%? I think it's worth it. Will run more checks but this is good!

Totally trying to get my mind off my PhD viva. So we went to a random system just 11 jumps away from DSSA Erikson's Gateway.
Very pretty find! We'll be at EG for the next few days just chilling and decompressing ❤️

So pleased and happy to now see my name on Hypi Bra EV-P d5-78, the system that became part of a chapter in my PhD thesis. And @nvgg.online and I share the ELW too! Time for a rest!
