Inter-stellar route finder!

I've managed to plot the route from M30 to Duckadang on Google Sky. And the best bit - it even knows that I need to take the Capricorn Highway!!!

Those guys at Google know everything

You could take the scenic route via the Helix, It's only a few lightyears out of the way

Cheers

Now we know why Han Solo had to make such calculations before he could jump to lightspeed when leaving Tattoine with a couple of Star Destroyers up his tail. Thats the trouble with FTL (Faster Than Light) travel, navigation becomes a nightmare.
